October 28, 2020 - Served 6½ hours after opening. Smoky, sweet fruit, with coffee notes. Very smooth. So nice.

April 23, 2017 - this bottle was concerning to me because the cork was soaked 2/3 of the way up. over 20 years old now, this showed very fresh, with some fresh fruit still present, much to my surprise. red and black cherry, smoke, hint of dried leaves, leather. long finish shows some nice acids and fully resolved tannins.
