Dark ruby robe, not a hint of brick and only a trace of sediment. I didnt take formal notes but it was an amazingly fresh and fruit forward wine despite going on 23 years. Ive got more of this and a bunch of much older vintages which I can not wait to try after how good this was.

Cork came out easily and intact. No off smell. Color "tawny" definitely showing its maturity. Nose not overpowering. Taste smooth, still full. Has not lost anything. Enjoyed with beef tenderloin grilled on BBQ. Have 2 more in the cellar.
