No score, this old gal was on the verge of turning... I thought it was a Cab when I pulled it from the bottom rack, when I saw it was a 30-year-old Merlot I knew it was probably gone. I could have drunk it, but not wifey. Too bad.

Drank a couple bottles this week. Not as good as a bottle drunk six months ago. Decline is clearly in the works. Relatively simple, slightly disjointed nose of black fruit, tobacco and oak. Body still in tact but feel apart an hour or so later.

Stellar bottle - it was so good, it actually surprised us. No formal notes. Drank with friends. It's time to drink, but this was not over the hill.

Past its prime. Flavors of stewed fruit. Inventory says I have another bottle, but that may have been a mistaken double entry.
