  Fantastic right now. The tertiary notes have kicked in with loqorice, dried herbs, soy, olive leafs.
  
  I have one bottle left and will drink it soon.
  
  Opened 3 hours in advance, no decanting.
  
  Riedel Burgundy stems

  Yes it 24+ years old, but is fabulous. A nose of musty cellar but clearly not TCA. Muted fruit, pencil shavings, minerals of iodine.

  Somewhere between the two prior observers. Decanted for several hours. Well integrated with fine tannins. Dark fruit.

  Bloomed after an hour decant into nice faded roses, but nothing lively happening, no lift and no upside. Generic and underwhelming for a riserva of the vintage. Drink up.

  This was beautiful. Fully mature but still had some bite left ni it. Cranberries were dominant, but there was a little bit od cigar ash and black currant. Mid palate was packed with a punch that transitioned to a long finish. While this is ready to drink, I still believe it has a few years left
