Most reviewers think this is over the hill. This bottle has been in a cool space for ove 20 years, and today it was still very good. The cork disintegrated, there was lots of sediment, but after two hours we enjoyed ith with somewhat spicy Mexican food and the cheeses. Especially with Stilton and strong Brie, the flavors ere excellent--cinnamon, allspice, rosemary, , and a long finish. Don't assume this is over the hill.

Definitely at the end of its life as the color is a little muddled and the flavor profile a tad flat. Not bad just not providing much interest especially after it is open for a while
