I wouldn't say the wine is that good but it also wasn't bad and at 17 years old that may be a compliment in and of itself. The cork was weak and didn't come out in one piece. Had to really ease it out to keep from having to push it down. Initially I thought the wine was going to be undrinkable but I let it sit a bit and then ran it through Venturi and it was better. The second day may have been a little better.

Experience this time was about the same as my 2014 and 2017 notes. Maybe has gone down a little though.

A little hint of leather … a nice aged faux burgundy
