  From a magnum. Garnet edge shows its age a bit. Earthy musty mature and past it’s age. Consumed at a dinner party where one guest said “it’s like us, we were better 10 years ago but we are still good.”
  
  Drank along side an 85 Beychevelle which was far superior.

  A few hours later . . . A little more to this wine, blackberry and some cigar coming through. Did we drink this too fast/not give it enough time? Definitely 90+, but still think we are on the backside.
