We thought this bottle was in perfect condition. Beautiful dark red color, raspberry and cassis nose, dense mature raspberry, black current fruit, very slight acidity, all in perfect balance. Long mature Bordeaux type finish. Loved it with grilled hanger steak. Opened 30-45 minutes before dinner.

Next up in the "forgotten bottles" project...haven't had this in several years. PnP, drank over 90 minutes.
Medium garnet color, some separation. Wine showing red fruits, dark cherry, plums and pipe tobacco. Medium weight and finish. Nice "sweetness" through the mid palate. Nicely aged and drinking well, probably a few years past it's "prime", very pleasant and fun wine to drink. Would drink over next few years.

Very good bottle of wine though it does not have the outstanding body that I remember from past bottles. I would drink it now: I disagree that it has more years to cellar.

Rare event I liked much m ore than my wife. Almost sweet upon entry. Cassis, some leather and tobacco. Dark fruits. EASY to drink. Had with marinated pork chops.

Still with moderate fruit, mild tannins and acidity with moderate finish. Excellent wine still!
