Probably 8 - 10yrs past peak, but still had some nice fruit. Soft and silky thanks to the age. Not complex at this stage and slightly menthol, but still very enjoyable. Drink up if you have any.

Birth year wines (plus some extra's) (@ JB): Beautiful bouquet with smoke, exclusive oak, cinnamon and pleasant barnyard. On the palate a juicy wine with melted tannin with still a (very) little bite, juicy acidity and some cinnamon. Most of the tasters, including the person who brought the bottle, thought the wine was too old. And in fact the wine definitely has been better, but imho this is a grand old lady now which is still remarkably beautiful. I will not score it. The text should be enough.
