Port-like nose with a bit of glycerin. In the glass the color is medium-dark, rather dark for a wine of this age. Candied red fruit on the palate. Medium bodied with good acidity. Red licorice on the finish.

Vinetasters: 2000 Bordeaux (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Sharpie-marker and high-toned aldehydes on the nose. Sweet and sickly, with some cough syrup fruit and bitter notes on the palate. Alcoholic and oaky to fault, with a lot of black cherry/vanilla notes. Not to my liking at all. My 11th, group's 4th.

From magnum. Decanted on hour. Does not taste like 23 year old wine. Nicely balanced good fruit left from this format.

Fully mature and great balance. Tastes like a great Bordeaux wine. Excellent!

Silky smooth and still plenty of life in it. Give it an hour or so in the decanter. Beautiful fruit and very well balanced wine.
