Lovely secondary, and tertiary aromas and flavors. Fascinating persistence, and complexity. Was excellent after the 1 hr mark. A true joy. Mature, but not fading, yet. highly recommended
A stunning wine. Nose was mind-boggling, deep with fruit and earth notes, minerals, iron, smoke. Mouthfeel was complete, fully mature, at peak. Beautiful balance and worked perfectly with duck confit and polenta. Very glad I bought a bunch of this before the prices went haywire.

Simply brilliant wine. Still vibrantly youthful. Provides a snoot-full of red and black jam-like scents. A Salma Hayek of a wine -- mature but endlessly alluring. Haunts the memory.

Wonderful wine. Well balanced, fine tannins, lovely fruit. Drinking beautifully now. Part of a tasting that included the 67, 75, 77, 79, 82, 85, and 03.

Beautiful. Still stunningly youthful. Fruit has a freshness to it that is hard to believe given the age. Tobacco, smoke. Just great.
