Opened this bottle after ~20 years sitting in under the stair case to bid farewell to 2022, and couldn't be happier.
The bottom half of the cork was disintegrated so the wine needed to be filtered, other than that the wine was flawless.
Straight out of the bottle, fresh and fruity aroma with hints of vanilla, and black tea, it was a bit gripy with a bit of soft tannin around the palate, but after an hour or so in the decanter, it turned into a silky smooth almost creamy liquid, absolutely gorgeous. It was indeed a very special wine for a special occasion.
It's good to drink now. But would last for another 5-10 years through careful collaring.
Happy New Year!!!

Yum, that's all I can say. It was so delicious, so i just got on with it. Fresh, mineral, stone fruit, citrus, rose, hint of saw dust. Worked wonderfully well with quality nigiri, which was hard to come by during lock down.
