After 21 years, this wine still impresses. Solid fruit with mellow tannins make an enjoyable wine for New Years. Regrettably, I think this is my last bottle.

Opened this bottle for our New year's Eve celebration. The wine was well above the bottom of the neck with no signs of leakage on the cork.The wine paired well with filet mignon, scalloped potatoes and creamed corn. There was still tastes of fruit and a smooth aroma. The tannins were soft. Past its prime but still a very enjoyable bottle after 18 years.
Lacks intensity. Tasted like it was watered down.
