20 years later this has held up well for its standing. Dark fruit nose, rounded palate with an early attack of fine tannin, some mushroom, spice, long finish. Perhaps lacks mid palate power. No rush to drink up.

some funk and earthy coffee grinds on nose, lots of tart strawberries, very tightly wound, developing woody herbal savory notes on the nose, medium-bodied and very smooth, marred by tart finish.

Nice sweet spices. Not much fruit or acidity. A tannic bite at the end. Does this need more time or maybe a slightly bad bottle? An hour later seems to have fallen apart. Is it tired or am I?

Delicious, nicely balanced and surprisingly fresh for a 20 year old wine.
