Very positive surprise after reading multiple reviews of same wine and vintage. Assumed it was shot. Perfectly cellared. 20 years old. Plummy port like nose. Deep red, purple plum color, no browning edges. Medium to full bodied. Cassis, plum, blackberry, dark chocolate flavors. Absolutely delicious. Drinking without food, before dinner. Wuf wuf!

Opened tonite for dinner...a gift, perfectly cellared by my father in law since he bought it the first year it was sold at retail...Exceptional, elegant, perfectly balanced, sweet cassis on the nose, fresh red currant, raspberry, cherry...medium bodied...long finish.
