Deep garnet with some brick. Nose is still juicy and sweet, a little sourness but still inviting. Sweet red fruit attack, tannins have disappeared almost totally, and midpalate is thinning out. Solid finish. My first old wine experience, but I can't believe there is any justification to age further. Very pleasing and approachable stuff.

Gorgeous! Tons of life. Big plum, cranberry, cherry with some herbal undertones. Silky smooth. It held its own against an '82 Mouton...

From a tasting last winter. A little corky.

This was faded, but still showed quite nicely. Smooth, great balance, with classic cabernet flavors, albeit a bit dulled. Drink it up.
