What a nice surprise at age 45! Yes, some of the wine’s prior vibrancy and tension has departed, and the bouquet is muted, but the palate remains vital, smooth and liqueur-like, with sweet black fruits, cedar, spice, and leather. It will likely make it to 50, but it seems unlikely to benefit from 5 more years in the cellar.

I drank this one along side with the '85 one. This is a winner compared to the '85 that aged really well . Beautiful color, full body, medium-long finish. Great with the steak and pizza. Enjoyable.

Amazing perfumes, mature, balanced taste with a lot of charred oak. It is past it's prime but still very drinkable and very enjoyable.
