well, I didn’t get to try any because my wife was happily consuming it. When I asked how it was she said ‘quite good’ so I gave a rating of 88. I suspect it was a bit past it’s best drinking date.

12/31/2019 -- With left over Prime rib. New years Eve. Decanted minimal sediment. Brown brick color. Great nose. But the palate Was almost terrible at first (would give it a 78). Then over 30 minutes it opened up and actually became quite good !! (90). Formerly big St. Emillion, now a mere shadow of itself - moderate, elegant , Long palate, expressive, even complex. Dried fruits and cassis. Remained very good for 60-90 more minutes then faded. Next time for last bottle, decant an hour ahead. Don't worry about the age.

Unfortunately it got lost in the cellar for awhile. Surprisingly still quite good.
