Two, three years to late, it's on slippery slope, but still kicking some notes, especially in smell. Aromas - classical one for this kind of old wine. Tobacco, smoke, musty cellar, barbecue meat, but also red cherry, herbs and coffee (!). 94pts. for the smell. Taste - Red cherry and red currant are the queen and king in this territory. Black cherry and blackberry are still here but without balance with red fruits. Herbs for good or for bad. Lovely velvety texture with soft tannins, but not so lovely finish with too much acidity and too much spice. If you have it in your cellar, drink it now! If you have a chance to buy it. Don't buy.

Cork disintegrated, but once that was strained out the wine was pleasant. Faded fruit, but nothing negative.

Although it was at the end of it's prime, after decanting for about 30 mins., it still was a very pleasant wine.
