Remarkably fine for a 19 year old wine from a poor, er... I mean challenging vintage. Benefited from a 2 hour decant, this lacked the acidic edge of my prior bottle.

Drank along 2000 Chateau Montelena. Both decanted and enjoyed over Waygu beef steaks. Great nose and the wine really opened up over the meal. Good fruit present and overall a solid wine.

Nicely mature bottle with an alluring nose, excellent body and still lots of dark fruit. Marred by a somewhat acidic finish, but very enjoyable.
