From a perfect double magnum. Knowing the secret of old Simi from top vintages, this was unsurprisingly gorgeous with juicy, fruity richness, lots of cassis, black currant and blackberry, plus a minty freshness, a hint of eucalyptus and an impressive structure with good length.
To my knowledge 1992 was the last of the amazing Simis...

fading red/purple, bit brown in color. nose- rich ripe fruit, bit of tobacco, leather, still very lively, touch of tar, dried fruit. palate- well balanced, light tannins, slightly dry, everything is well integrated, not as much of the cigar box pulls through

Hey Guiseppe Simi makes an awesome vino, BUT did not perform like other aged CAB. Not much fruit or floral. Just a nice red vino, almost tannic. Had signs of high alcohol. No complaints, but tasted a 1994 Sterling on the same night and that one blew the Simi away. Ah the beauty of such options to enjoy. A 100+ more bottles of this in someone's cellar.

Pretty good after 27 years. Must have been incredible 5 years ago!
