  We drank bottle no. 228654. We were a little concerned about opening this bottle after 23 years of age - especially since storage conditions in the early years were not optimal. The first pour showed a wine with a lot of brown coloring and a somewhat thin look to it. There wasn't a lot of flavor in the initial tasting of fruit, tannin or much of anything. Changes in the wine were very rapid over the next hour. Each tasting showed more structure. Color deepend to a soft garnet color and by the end of the hour, any hint of a brown color had dissipated. The structure and complexity of the wine improved to the point that after about 40 minutes, there was a fair amount of complexity and taste. Aroma was light throughout, but the flavor of dark berries, black currants and the like continued to expand. It was a perfect complement for the steak we had. There was virtually no sediment. An excellent wine and sorry that I had only one bottle.
