Decanted and served. Aromas of funk, dried cherry, dried leaves and earth. Flavors of dried cherry, blackberry, earth, mineral and dried currant. Ends with a 25-30 second finish earth and dried cherry. Showing its age and I’m sure it was better in its youth but still hanging on.

Still Drinkable after 29 years! Purchased from an old cellar for $40 yesterday and had to try. Light finish. Taste of cherries, nose earthy. this is fading fast. Still a pleasant surprise. I had tried an 89 Caymus and 89 Duckhorn which were not drinkable. So it out lasted it's buddies.

Very pretty wine. After 25 years in the bottle, the up- front fruitiness had eased into subtle notes of cherry and tobacco, elegant mid-palate and a medium finish. I was pleasantly surprised at how vibrant and balanced this wine remains despite its age.
