Tuesday, March 19, 2024 - Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with earth, cedar, leather, chocolates, licorice, peppercorn, vanilla, cedar, cola, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf and coffee.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 37 year old is drinking very nicely now, although probably past its peak. Elegant and still has enough fruits.
Nicely balanced with a soft mouth feel. Really enjoyable.
I've had a few different vintages of this wine and it is always impressive to see its ability to age gracefully. The last time I had this specific vintage was a year ago, and it was drinking better. It's all about the individual bottle at this age...
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food as well.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$450.
