On the one hand, I realize tasting wine from 1900 is a rare treat. On the other hand, this was no treat to taste, as the wine had clearly slipped into senility. Highly acidic, the wine offered the aromas of dark chocolate covered oranges and cocoa and a tea color that reminded more of a Madeira than a Vintage Port. While this was very cool to think about, it was less than cool to taste.
