  Records not handy. Bought a few from a Chicago source, probably 20/b or less about 17 years ago; this may be the last one. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Purple with bit of amber edge; mature red fruit, hint of strong tea; rich fruit remains with some age showing--just past prime. Tasty with sauteed chicken and asparagus pasta. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and estimated price.
