Good out of the bottle on first night but a bit simple vs. my memory of this wine. Corked it and reopened 2 days later and it was singing! Deep, dark, layers of flavors and really good complexity. Smooth but complex finish. Earthy and dark chocolate notes. "plus" body and nice graininess to it (maybe more dusty).

Deep red color. Aromas of black currants and cherries, herbs and wood spices. Ripe fully integrated fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length. At the far end of its peak drinking period but still very fresh and intact.

A touch less fresh than the 6/18/22 bottle. Drink up!

Still hanging on, but I would drink up. Despite it being 20 years old, meat is still very friendly with this lovely wine. Glad I opened this.
