Very proud of the stamina of this wine. Got it as a gift, never stored very well before or after. Color maintained a dark orange/red. Nose consistent with a beautiful Bordeaux. Leather, strong pencil lead. Soft but consistent tannins with dark pepper and mature fruit. Such a surprise.

My bottle well provenanced. Fill remained medium neck and cork came out nicely with Durand just before dinner. No tannin but nice red fruit. Still worth the risk for old wine aficionados. Thank you Benchmark Group.
