Opened tasted then given two hours. Needed some time to blow off the funkiness , but it did start to return later. Savory, tobacco, soy sauce, cedar and some earthiness on the nose. Fully mature tannins . Mature Cab. Still has nice fruit and balancing acidity. Good balance on the fruit and savory notes. Has some really nice ripe cherry fruit, excellent tartness, decently long finish and the tannins are hanging in there.

Light bricking at the edges. Compared to the much older 86 this had more depth and length. Opened and tasted two different large pours by Coravin since it was 3 people and we were comparing several wines. Fully mature, nice balance of pomegranate , cherries, savory herbs and soft tannins with enough acidity to brighten it up. These do age well.

An aged wine for sure. Bricking color and fading.

Still singing along is all I remember. Getting a brickish color. Plenty of fruit left.
