Sunday, October 6, 2019 - Parents 60th Anniversay Shindig (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium brick red color with a 5mm clear margin. PNP; drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes plus. This started out pretty musty from its slumber, showing some questionable dank notes that raised the eyebrows initially. After about 10 to 15 minutes of swirling and glass time, this started to come around. Even at that, it was much better after 30 minutes of air and it held up if not got better after that. This was a much better bottle than we experienced previously. That bottle just didn't really evolve much over an hour. Dried red berries, shaved truffle, forest floor, alnd a perfume emerges over time. The Deeply earthy, red fruits, light medium bodied, moderate round tannins remain. This is one of those old wines that I have such an appreciation for. Not a blockbuster, but so pleasurable in many ways. Very good with a variety of cheeses as well as standing on its own. Give this some love and air and I think you might be very pleased. 91(+?)pts, and I think I enjoyed it even more than that.
