  Nice complexity, dark berry flavors, well-integrated tannins. Went well with chicken and sausage with a red vegetable sauce. Delicious!

  This one was bad and musty. The few others we've had have been a little over the hill, but still complex and delicious. I'm hopeful that most--if not all--of the remaining bottles have held up.

  Deep flavors--liquorice, black currant. Complex and chewy with a reasonably long finish. Cork was intact, decanted for 90 minutes, drank with marinated Top Round Steak ... delicious!

  Last bottle.
  Popped and decanted due to the cork crumbling as it came out.
  No noticeable bricking
  Nose was reasonably complex and pleasant. Didn't come off as a 22 year old wine near it's end. Seemed nicely integrated and ready for action.
  Palate was decent, not spectacular but solid. Good dark fruit, nice integration of flavors and good acid balance.
  Paired with my wife's 8 hour ribs that were spectacular and it paired very well.
  Would buy again.
