Definitely past it's prime. Opened for my sister's 30th birthday. Almost no fruit notes left. Cork was in great shape, less sediment than I expected given the age.

Layered bleeding to the edge. Lovely nose of cigar box and plum skins with some candied high notes completing the bouquet. Subtle -- different in a good way. Delicious fruit and spice in decent volume. Achieves an excellent balance of power and finesse. This is the good stuff.

Long dead....purchased at auction with hopes for anniversary dinner, 2 bottles opened with similar experience - all bouillon, acid, and vinegar.

Let it breathe for 2 hours. Much better then. Slightly past its prime but still good. Even better after 4 hours.

Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind alongside the 1991. Both came across as well past their peaks and/or stewed.
