Wonderful wine for birthday steak dinner, still showing great with 21 years of age on it. Muted fruit on the nose, expected from a wine of this age. Very well balanced, with earthy and some mild vegetal notes on the palate. Tannins are mostly subsided, but still slightly there.

Really liked this wine. A pleasant surprise with an undercurrent of earth tones covered in silky, dark fruit. The first smell was a bit funky, and all were impressed that the funk turned to outright pleasure. Very pleasant bottle.

Past its prime. Taste like weak sherry.

Very mature. Light fruit, smooth mid palette, smooth finish.
