Still good wine. Very little brown color, surprisingly, but tannins are all gone, and fruit is very soft. The nose was a great old Bordeaux nose, and the finish was pretty short. Certainly past its peak, but still has some years left.

Not a bad bottle, but very boring. Way below the taste level I like. Very one-dimensional. It never changed from the time I opened the bottle to two hours later. I will say that it was showing no age at all after ten years. I think it can take another ten years easy. Got some nice tannins left. Surprising. Five years ago I would have really liked this wine.
