As delicious with food as it was on its own, this wine had matured beautifully over the nearly 40 years since it was bottled. Perfectly balanced fruit, acid, and tannins - this wine brought big flavors of beef, leather, and black fruit without any one being overpowering. Truly magnificent, and a welcome surprise given that it's a really affordable wine but drinks way above its price point. I will definitely be buying more to enjoy now and to set aside for when my hair is grayer.

An ok wine, but less impressive than 1988.
