Did a quick PnP, and it was very flat, bummer, not a good start. Decanted for 3 hours, and no real difference, or improvement. I’ve had this for 10+ years thinking it would/should be aging wonderfully. Boy, was I wrong. Five people tasted this and agreed 100%… actually one person thought it was corked, but the majority disagreed.
95 What a treat. 3 hour decant. Forest floor, black currant nose. Palate is med weight, well balanced with more dark fruit. Great showing. Plenty of energy and many years left.

Dark red and black fruits, balanced earth and oak, resolved tannins, mild acid, short finish, poor qpr

Dark and dense color. Delicious aromas of dark berries like blackcurrant, and some vanilla. Juicy and quite elegant on the palate, with fine tannins.
