November 25, 2021 - An auction bottle recently purchased, nose of black berry, black cherry, and mint, more of the same on the palate, tasty, mouth filling fruit, showing its age, but still showing well, not as nice as the 1997 opened 2 nights earlier, great with the Flemings Thanksgiving Day Dinner today, and a medium/long, flavorful finish, photo uploaded.
