Bottle was seeping so I decided to open it and see what was inside... All in all, for this wine being 20 years old it was in really good shape. The cork wasn't in the best shape, but the wine didn't show it... Still had some dark fruits in the front with a surprising amount of structure left. Tannins were dusty and fading, but still present. Overall this was still a solid bottle, but IMO it has already peaked, so why wait to drink, not going to get any better.

this one took a while to open up. it was an interesting wine. Went well with the dinner at Josie. A bit of a edge that mellowed throughout the meal.
