  Still a reasonable amount of fruit given the age, not much heat at all. Has that hard to describe pleasant funk that you expect from ultra aged bottles. Stewed plums, sweet tobacco, cedar cigar box, earth. Just such a pleasure to drink

  High shoulder fill, soaked cork. Lovely nose of black currents and oak as well as spice box, pouch tobacco and milk chocolate. Medium-full bodied, this is quite good. Fantastic foil for coq au vin. Resolved but still present tannin, and bright acidity. Lovely and in fine shape, but drink up! 90

  forgot about this one last bottle, thought is was long gone bad. soaked cork that cracked upon opening. Of course past the peak, but still very well drinkable.

  Upper shoulder fill, soaked cork. Nice nose of mature black currant fruit, oak and spice. Medium bodied with a drying palate. There's a nice core of minerally, oak-laden fruit. Still delicious, this needs to be drunk soon! 88
