March 24, 2016 - This bottle is well past it's prime, and I decanted with low expectations.
The cork turned out to be in excellent condition, and the sediment was moderate. Right out of the decanter the nose was full with dark fruit and black spice aromas, and no funk.
On the pallet there is plenty of what you'd expect from an old bordeaux, with a hint of barnyard that I expect will blow off with airtime. The finish is deep and long, but a bit harsh and astringent.
Not a bad performance from a 22 year old middleweight. NR1,624 views
