disappointed corked and not what I was hoping for after reading all the great reviews, really a crap shoot with a 22 year old bottle from an auction since you can't be sure how it was stored, have 1 more so hopefully better luck with next one

Opened after fiddle camp 2022. Yummy jammy inky goodness. thick, extracts of blackberry galore...smooth, velvety. Hints of chocolate, blueberry, plum and fig. Excellent at this stage. Interesting compared to last note...no tang on this bottle. Oops, I was supposed to save this for another 18 years....grabbed the 2000 instead of the 2002. Oh well.... I do believe this bottling will last much longer!

Doesn't show too much age. Well integrated and smooth. Dark fruit, vanilla, still has acid and balance. It seems to me that this still has years ahead.

corked like the first one but strained easy enough and a wonderful bouquet on opening
