  Bought at an auction. Bottle in perfect condition with a cork half soaked.
  Initially very sweet, it develped quite nicely in the glass. At first it reminded me of a priorat we had the evening before.
  While this is drinking well now, there seems to be no rush for bottles in good condition.
  Always funny to read on the label that the producer recommended drinking the wine immediatly upon release of with a bit of age (5-7 years). That's the beauty of wine.

  This was very interesting for a 32 year old wine. We enjoyed it with a rich beef stew. It still had vibrant color with very little bricking, and the fruit was still intact. There was a nice slightly barnyard aroma and flavor, which went very well with the beef.

  Lots of structure, still quite jammy, oaky, and spicy. Also showing a bit of balsamic so my impression is that the components might be maturing at different rates now. Not really getting that tea or claret development you sometimes see. I like it but not my favorite old Geyserville.

  Still going! The cork broke, but the second half was extracted without a problem. Decanted but there was very little sediment. This Geysersville was thoroughly enjoyable — not much fruit left or tannins. Silky smooth but not much depth. Drink now!

  The first two of these that I opened were horribly disappointing, full of VA and Balsamic Vinegar notes. However tonight I got a real treat with a perfectly "on" bottle.
  
  Nose: Very intense dark fruited nose with leather, game and herb notes. Does not fully show its age, as the wine remains dark and somewhat brooding. Palate: Plum, blackberry sauce, rosemary, raspberry, peppercorns, leather and siopce. Just a hint of sherry notes, but really just a pleasant integration. Finish: Resonant black fruit, raspberry, tobacco, sea salt, olives and herbs.
