Maybe 92. Has lots of stuffing and acid and could probably go quite a few more years. Has some deep fruit flavors and earthiness. Some soy sauce and menthol and lots of alcoholic heat.

P&P. A somewhat restrained but beautiful bouquet of plum, red and black seed fruits on a earthy forest floor, along with hints of provencal herbs. Complex and apparently multi-layered on the palate, with tiers of earth that envelope powerful pit and seed fruits. Medium acidity, medium grainy but velvety tannins give structure and some chewiness. A long finish of fruits intermingled with earth trailing into notes of iron and mineral. Seemed to evolve in the glass over about 90 minutes, so I would venture to drink within the next five years. Loved it and would definitely repeat.

Decanted and let breathe for 90 minutes. 90 seemed about right. Lots of sediment left in neck of bottle.
Nose is intoxicating with a little fruit, forest floor, and coffee liqueur.
Tasting: black fruits, plum sauce, sweet tobacco, a little of that forest floor.
Lots of life left in it. Some in group thought tannins were still sharp and could use some more time.
