  Nose was fantastic. Taste clearly on the gentle downward slope, suggesting peak was 5-10 years ago. This is still very drinkable and enjoyable, but further delay won't offer reward. Taste of eucalyptus, cherry, brush, as others have noted. Nice showing for a 24 year old wine.

  Still drinking well after double decanter and return to bottle after a wash out of bottle. It gives back so much life to the wine.

  This wine is in a great place now! Attractive nose with dark fruits, wood, leather and bell-pepper, some eucalyptus. Silk and smooth on the palate, rich in dark fruits. Good acidity, well-balanced. Long-lingering, well integrated smooth tannin. Very well crafted wine. Should hold well for (at least) another 5+ years.
