Well past the drinking window. Red fruit at first that fades very quickly. The structure of the wine is failing and the finish leaves a dusty feel. Drink now if you have it, couple years and it will probably be undrinkable.

Purchased at auction, proved to be well cellared and in great drinking shape. The cork was soft and crumbled, but the juice was well in tact. Strong cola, coffee and dark cherry flavors with a finish lasting almost a minute. Paired with filet oscar.

Big, smooth, and easy to drink. Black fruit, vanilla with a hint of smoke. Paired with a ribeye, nice match. Opened 90 minutes prior to pouring, shared with the dinner party, so it went fast. Purchased on WC at a steep discount due to stain on label, well worth the $72 I paid for it, not sure I would pay $140+...
