  Getting a little hair on it - should have consumed 5 years ago, but still okay.

  At eighteen years, the fill level, foil, label, and importantly, the cork, as shown, were in ideal condition. This is still holding its own with life left although likely at the end of the apex of its drinking window and won't improve with further aging.
  Dark garnet colored with a some purple and very slight amount of rust hue starting to set in, full-bodied, dry, rich, complex, nicely balanced integrated flavors dark berries and currants, with notes of dark cocoa, graphite, leather, tobacco leaf, cedar and spice with lingering firm but refined tannins.

  Very dark red/purple color. From Magnum, PNP, drank several glasses over 6 hours. I've thoroughly enjoyed this vintage over the years. This was the first time out of magnum and first time drinking in 6 years. I'm thrilled to say it was flat out fantastic and a great way to celebrate my dad. This has a head turning nose; there's a great perfume of dried wood, cedar, cassis, brambly dark berries, violets, dried tobacco, blue fruits, damp forest floor and dried spices with hints of dark cocoa as well. The palate is an idyllic blend of pencil shavings, dark fruits with a blueberry and boysensberry note woven in, and the gorgeous dried woodsiness and dried earth really stands out. This is a really refined Bordeaux blend with fine dusty tannins and impeccable balance. 94+ to 95pts.

  impressive nose but not so impressive on palate.. fruit is nice but wine seems out of balance as tannins not holding it together at this point.
