I had not gone back to the several bottles of this I have in my cellar for a decade, having found it more austere than the lofty ratings it had received from James Laube would suggest. Well, after decanting a bottle tonight, I am very impressed with this 24-year-old wine! It has aged beautifully, retaining good color, with very enjoyable fruit and balanced tannins. I have a number of different wines from the 1990's and this is among the best in standing the test of time. I'm glad I was patient!
