A forgotten wine in the cellar turned out to still be an outstanding quaff 19 years from the vintage! Opened and decanted for my 40th. Honestly very pleased that this was the bottle we chose. (But of course if you have one who knows how long it'll be good for... I'd say drink up this year!)

Found in the cellar and opened. I was positively surprised, how well this bottle performed. No signs of age with nice cassis and chocolate notes. Still a good balance between richness and structure. Should be drunk now, but will survive another couple years.

Supposedly past its prime, but still drank nicely. Plenty of fruit and body.

Smooth and easy to drink, lots of black cherry, cassis, and vanilla.
