Surprisingly no bricking, though the color is not extracted. Yeah, this is past its prime but still pretty charming. Smoke, leather, receded fruit veering toward cranberry. Tart finish. It was fun to drink a solid 30 year old wine, even one on the downhill slide.

Crumbled cork so might not be representative. Bricking edges. Smells like very old Bordeaux, maybe 40+ years old. Moldy dusty old books. Tannins all gone. Old quite worn leather. This had a spark right away and is now very tired. Not sure it was ever a great wine, but it is clearly past prime.

Very thin and over the hill. The color and nose actually looked promising but the palate left nothing of interest.

Deep brick, lighter at rim. Sweet sulfur,coffee , herbs, minerals on nose. Full mouthfeel, some fruit, sweetness. Long. Very impressive

Crumbled cork. Brick amber at rim. Black fruits on nose and palate. Amazingly sweet and focused. Shocked and awed.
