Very good for its age. bright nose, no funky notes. I was clearing out older wines in my cellar with the hope that some would be drinkable. This one definitely is. Still has fruit, but it does not leap out at you. I was trying to educate my friends on the differences that aging makes.

Big wine but delicious. Interesting Bordeaux blend with a high percentage of Petite Verdot. Fruit and chocolate and quite a bit of structure. Nice now but I'll wait a few more years before I open another bottle (my last).
