Good fruit notes, red and blue, some bright and fresh, some a little more ripe and muddled to go along with some earthy notes. Bright acid on the finish that lifts everything and when not having with food some dusty tannins on the finish as well. Hard to believe it's 20 years old.

So alive and so delicious at almost 20 years young! This had so much fruit left for a wine of this age. Well made and well balanced. Each of these old vintage teldeschis has been terrific.

Kind of a crazy old wine. Still has probably a decade or two left. It’s very extracted, inky, and viscous—there was a syrupy residue on the cork taking it out. If you aren’t into big deep sweeter reds, it won’t suit your fancy. If you do, it’s fun.

Meh. It’s drinkable but not wonderful. Can taste the high alcohol content but still taste plenty of fruit.
