Such a stunning and unexpectedly good wine. Half-bottle after half-bottle continues to impress, even at this age! Gave 10-15 minutes to open up, then dove in. Prevalent raisin and slightly earthy upfront, giving way to robust (and delicious) blue fruits and blueberry pie. So happy with this wine.
What a pleasant surprise to have so much sweet red fruit left in this wine, with some nice tertiary flavors at the back end to round out the flavor profile.

Needs time to open. Dominant tobacco and raisin notes. Still has some tannins, but overall, very approachable after about an hour being open.

Still has some life left, but running out of time. Raisin and leather dominant the profile.

I'm a big fan of mature wine and this drank beautifully. It had just enough of everything left to be a real tasty drop.
