Saturday, May 9, 2009 - Decanted for several hours, this monster STILL at 23 years of age tastes like a young wine. The decanting took the tannic edge off, however, and black cherry and a sort of floral minerality was apparent to me first. As the night went on, a strong tobacco took over.
I probably could have waited another 23 years to drink this one, but alas I am an impatient man! Also drank a 1967 d'Yquem this night. A magical evening.
