Still very much alive. Drank within 15 minutes of opening. Bright tart fruit to start on nose and pallet. It evolved over the next 45 minutes with Rib-eye dinner from band aids to mushrooms to cigar box and spices/ dried flowers. Velvety mouth feel most of the journey. Really enjoyed dinner this special wine!

Compared to the previous bottle, this one was more ripe on the palate which gave away its new world origin. However, the nose was very sexy and alluring with stems, flowers, vanilla oak and coffee beans. Very nice.

Stems, sweet red currant, and vanilla on the nose. Palate was silky with supple red fruit and perfumed wood. I served this as a ringer in a 90s red burgundy theme dinner.

This wine was incredible for being almost 25-years old. It was stored perfectly from their cellars to mine. Provenance counts!

Bottle in perfect condition. Past prime, but after 30 min, some nice fruit emerged from the leathery dust.
