I felt like i was in the presence of a Goddess. This wine was absolutely breath taking. The youthful nose, long finish, and deep inky color would have fooled most anyone that it was less than a decade and not 38 years of age. The wine was very tight and filled with years of evolution remaining. The cork crumbled but wasn’t soft, and there was probably 2 teaspoons of sediment that i filtered out before decanting. My wife and I sipped this wine over 4 hours and I almost cried over the last little bit. Thankfully I’ve 2 more bottles in the cellar! If you can find this wine, buy all you can get!
This wine is alluring and sexy. Perhaps at its best right now I am sure it remains youthful still for many years to come. A classic blend that hits the mark with velvet cohesion and a tapestry of balanced complexity.
