Records not handy. Bought a 12b case, likely under 17/b, from a local independent shop 17-18 years ago; this is well into the case. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple without hint of amber; fragrant red berry nose, bit of fading floral, some brett that receded a bit over 90 mniutes; mature red berries, hint of strong tea, good mouthfeel. At least tasty, sorry to get the brett, though it was not dominant. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.

The best of 3 bottles (with the last 2 being opened in 2009 and 2010. Perfect condition. Med to full-bodied with great flavor depth. An unexpected surprise.

Not much left to discuss. Might have been pleasant at some point. Red wine, hot. Had with roast turkey.

Very surprisingly - still alive and kicking. Actually pretty good! Better than before?
