For it's age it very much impressed my non Bordeaux fans it maintained significant fruit and definitely evolved over the 3 hours of charcuterie and meal of Italian pot roast with veggies, sautéed in malbec. Actually tasted along with a 1994 Quilceda creek Washington cab, which was also impressive.

Held flavor well. I drank it against a variety of cheese, both young and old, and it was very nice. Then against a ham and bean soup, it really complimented the earthiness of hte dish. I agree that the wine is likely near or just past it's peak.
