Held to it for 32 years and multiple moves. Didn't expect much after the subpar storage conditions. Finally opened for special occasion. Cork disintegrated and initial oxidized notes. Within an hour, it turned to something special. Overtones of dark caramel, almond and butterscotch. Not overly sweet and yet satisfying. Left little for the next day and it was still consistent. Very enjoyable and a life journey experience.

Zesty, floral, red berries notes. Hints of tea leaves that evolve into strong but fine tannins. Mouth filling, long finish and elegant. Best for now with food that balance the tannin. Easy to drink with couple of hours of decanting. Imagine will be more beautiful in 1 or 2 years.

Delicious wine and great value. Medium body, silky tannin with flavors of black cherry and licorice.
