This is just phenomenal. I see how some more patience would do it justice, but it's so good that I can't make any promises I won't open the rest of them!!! This bottle is HUGE, & will continue to develop over a decade & last for at least another after that. Guaranteed.
dark purple. no brown noted at edges, beautiful nose. no tannin left. some oak, ripe, but not overripe fruit on the palate. it is fantastic. Be careful of the cork. I was gentile, but still disintegrated and needed to filter out the pieces. drinking very well now and not over the hill. will keep 3-4 more years I believe.

Silky smooth and elegant. Great wine with a long finish. We enjoyed immensely with 45th anniversary dinner. Not waiting another 45 years for another taste.

Drank beautifully with our steakhouse meal: ribeye, pommes frites, salad, cheese. Decanted for 20 minutes, then a gorgeous bouquet and lovely, complex mid-palate culminating in a long but slightly tannic finish. There are wonderful secondary flavors here, though the wine still seems fresh enough. The finish became a bit muddy and tannic after two hours, all leading me to think that this is a prime time to consume this wine.
