Still fighting its age, while starting to brick at the edges its still pretty dark/ruby. Held on to this more out of fun than anyting else. Redfruit, floral and alcohol on the nose. Velvet with good acid on the finish. Still has a bit of tannin, but I would drink it if you got it.

Did not decant. The cork broke but the bottle had a great aroma right from the start. the wine was a little tight initially but opened up into a very enjoyable experience. this vintage may last longer but why tempt fate. It is well worth enjoying now.

Opened 2 bots 1 hour before Christmas dinner.... and was enjoyable for dinner but massive dryness on the end which paired well with the prime rib... HOWEVER, the last glass and a half 24 hours later were AMAZING. I' rate the first day experience in the 88-89 range, but 24 hours later, 94-95. Still years left to enjoy this.

8 hours slow ox before starting to drink... drank over next 3 hours; super!! another day of opening would've likely even been better.
