Apparently filtered, virtually no sediment in a 23 year old claret. This was certainly alive- some fruit, no signs of tiredness, but nothing much of interest either. Flat black plum fruit, a little tobacco, somewhat short, proof that a wine can survive without necessarily gaining complexity. C+

Second other poster's notes, very elegant and silky on the mouth and a really nice bouquet. Seems to have some legs left in it, unfortunately I only have one bottle remaining. Didn't decant at all and it was still very good and open.

fabulous stuff: a radiant bouquet, followed by a very long, very well balanced wine on the musky/earthy side of the spectrum. the contrast between the almost candy-like bouquet and the earthy/mysterious palate presence worked marvelously.

too bad Poppy brought it and it was corked. Hope to get another chance to taste it.

The bottle was corked and returned to KL wines and exchanged for a 1990
