Seriously, not my style. Big fruit, big (extreme) alcohol, to big to compliment anything that you'd want to pair it with, this will overwhelm anything. Last one, never again.

There hasn't been a note on this bottling in a while. For all you out there that still have a bottle or two in your cellar this bottling remains vibrant. Of course, the cork will crumble, but at almost 30 years the wine remains balanced, with raisins, strawberry and oak as the prominate notes. If you have well maintained bottles of this wine, don't discount them, you are in for a treat.

I've had better bottles of this out of my cellar (started with 5). I'm not an expert, but I'm thinking now or never on this one.
