  I was shocked by the great condition and viviness this bottle have. Medium body, still in good balance, fruits and tannis integrated to a modest acidity. The finish isn't too long but very interesting. I think this bottle could have gone another 5-10 years, but obviously it's past it peak.
  
  DRINK.

  Good strong nose but not much fruit left. Only pencil lead, earth and leather.

  Garnet in color with bricking edge. Nose of cherries, cola, and hint of leather. Tastes of cherries, plums, hints of milk chocolate and tobacco. Not going to improve, but in a lovely place for the short term.

  This wine has clearly seen better days, but it's still drinking nicely. A bit thin, brick colored. Still a bit of bright fruit hanging on. Menthol and fresh garden hose on the nose and entry. Loads of sediment - be sure to filter.
