  September 11, 2020 - Records not handy. Bought several from a local independent shop about 13-14 years ago, likely less than 30/b; this is #1. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; mature redcurrant nose; mature redcurrants, some ripe plum, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Softer and rounder than expected, seemed lacking in grip. Solid and enjoyable from a non-stellar vintage. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.
