This wine was probably a few decades past it's prime. Opened it at 34 years of age. Had been cellared well. I wasn't expecting much and did't get much. Very raisiny/pruny with a backbone of acid. Smell was a little off-putting and didn't make me eager to take a sip. Struggled to finish a glass. It was a gift from a friend.

At home in the evening. Medium ruby. Dry, weedy fruit in the nose. Elusive quality I can't identify. On the palate, medium body, good balance, with somewhat diluted fruit flavors. 5-10-12-5: 82/100.
