On it's 30th year anniversary, I decided to take this to a get together where Lasagna was going to be served. Cracked it and poured it. Frist of all the cork was like new! Wine came out looking like tea-quite a contrast to the newbie, purple Cabs that were in some of the other glasses. Can I actually believe it, no oxidation, great flavor, great nose!! I know from previous experience that these Selvapiana Riserva.s can age(I also have a 1983 and a 1990 lurking in my cellar) but 30 years? Bravo!

still very nice - prominent acidity and cherry - fills in with an hour or so of air, picks up body and darker fruit with more prominent tanins - rustic and very good - doesn't seem to be fading
