  Getting a bit tired, but with an hour's air showed more of the cherry, tar and herbs that give the wine some interest. Drink up.

  Wineflock - Tour of 1988 (Jim's): Group #8, My #6 - Soft full crimson red color. Medium dustry red lifted fruit - somewhat subdued. Nice bowl of red cherries on the palate. Round balanced and smooth. Drinking well now, though it faded a bit with time in glass.

  This was either past its prime or oxidized. On the first night there was some earth and cigar box, but the overwhelming impression was bruised plums. You could sense there had been something good here, but you missed it. By night two it was so oxidized it was port-like.

  Wonderfully aromatic with autumnal spice and earth, tobacco leaf and cigar box, and dusty mushroom all intertwined. Soft on the palate, elegant and perfectly balanced, supple and cool. At peak now, so drink up.

  Quel beau vin payé à un prix absurde (environ 24$!) lors de la liquidation annuelle de la SAQ à Montréal à l'été 2001.
  
  Le vin présente, bien entendu, des lames tuilées. Le nez, lorsqu'on débouche la bouteille, sent brièvement la...couche de bébé (pour ne pas dire autrement). Très rapidement, cette odeur s'en va pour nous laisser entrevoir des notes séduisantes de réglisse rouge, de terre humide, d'écurie et viandées. Bouche évoluée, fondue, équilibrée, qui déroule avec raison le tapis rouge sur ses saveurs qui persistent un bon moment.
  
  C'est un vin bien évolué, délicat dû à son âge, à qui il faut faire acte de respect en ne le servant pas avec des mets imposants.
  
  À boire puisque l'âge ne le fera pas évoluer davantage.
