  A revelation. Medium ruby with only light garnet at the edge. A little dusty Leather speaks of age but ripe currants, plums, berries with mint and forest seems to come from a wine of 10 years, not 26. Balanced, beguiling and forthcoming, it is beautiful, long and satisfying.

  Better than the 94 we had a couple weeks back.
  Substantive palate. Medium tannin. Dark berry fruit and it’s been open all day. Good showing, but nothing to write home about. Others enjoyed it more than I did, but still fun to experience.

  Deep ruby color. Red and black fruit nose and palate. Certainly not past. Sorry I don't have any more. CA. Bordeaux blend can age well.

  Still drinking well but it doesn’t have any more to give. Time to drink up.

  On its way out. It was drinking marvelous a few years ago, maybe this was just a bad bottle. Cork was good, but sourced through Winebid.com so optimum storage couldn't be guaranteed.
