  PnP (Durand) thoroughly enjoyed over two hours; cork and fill in vg condition. Feeling quite lucky to have a bottle that's still quite fresh, vibrant. Med+ body, little sign of age to the color, nose or palate. This was showing as well as I could have hoped for: long, sweet tannins lurking about, multi-layered mid palate, good soil and red/black fruits, etc. Excellent now, and the next several years in this condition. highly recommended

  No signs of age at 23 tears old, still fresh and vibrant, will probably last another 10 years, maybe longer. Took some time to open up, an hrs decant might be sufficient. Went well with Sirloin and Brussels Spouts at Parkhouse Eatery in San Diego. Wish I had more but I believe this bottle was a loner. No hurry but quite enjoyable now with a little air. Cork appeared good but crumbled with a Corkscrew. An Air Pump cork Extractor might have been a better option.

  Fantastic, probably opened this bottle five to ten years too soon. Fruit was still very rich, ripe, and tannins were very sweet and smooth. Nose was fruit and herbal, not even much leather or vanilla yet. Too bad I had only one bottle!.
