Light garnet color with some moderate bricking on the miniscus. The nose is light and floral. As is the palate. Beautiful notes of strawberry, vanilla, florals. Long finish that begged for more. This is drinking beautifully for it's 20+ years.

Drinking French With Todd French, P Robert and The Gang (Frenchie's House): I was pretty amazed how fresh this wine was still, even with it being almost 20 vintages removed. There was a small hint of secondary nuance but it was more of a bit player here. Red fruits, smooth, nose of animal, although Frenchie called it "pickled". Whatever you term it, I did not find it to be out of favor. Drank pretty well and nicely balanced.
