Wonderful after 28 years. Dark red with some brownish boundaries. Elegant nose. Red and dark fruit cocktail, espresso and chocolate, vanilla. Good length. Harmonious and silky finish.

Last tasted in 2001 and I was smart (or lucky) for not opening another one until today. Double decanted and poured, the 1996 Seavey was singing. Though a little musty when first poured, that disappeared within 10 minutes. Deep in color with lots of black fruits in the nose and flavor. Black currants and blackberries with leather, licorice and hints of chocolate and minerality in the nose. Similar flavors with the addition of black cherries and plums. Very well balanced, nice complexity, medium to full bodied and a long silky finish. We will open our last bottle later this year or early 2025. This is drinking beautifully!! 94/95

Enjoyed with friends Jim and Anita, on patio at club with beautiful music in background. Somewhat musty, tannins fully integrated and drinking very smoothly.

Last bottle was 2021. Still love it but just starting to get a little prunish. Professional estimates of a 2025 drinking window are probably spot on.
