Nothing wrong with this! Was worried it might be past its (the downside of) prime based on what I've read of older vintages. But not so here. Definitely not recommended if you don't appreciate an older claret, but for those who do, if the bottle was stored properly, there's still plenty of enjoyment left. Just don't wait too long.

Deep red-black in color. Offering just a bit of char and tar at opening, this wine softened after 45+ minutes of air into a toasty, deep and tightly wound mix of blackberry, licorice and a hint of smoke. Drink up.

The wine looks ruby colored. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine has narrow texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Surprisingly delicious. Still rich with mild tannins.
