Cork broke - although we were very careful! Strained into decanter. Aromas of smoke or char and plum. Tasted after 30 minutes. BIG red fruit up front, a little hot - then tannins on mid palate. Surprising for wine this old. Waited another 45 minutes. Mellowed nicely. Waited too long however. If you still have this, drink it!

Ripe fruit, some cocoa, holding on but simple compared to '85 Rausan Segla (one person preferred). B
