Found this one buried in my cellar from 15 years ago. A little flat when first opened. Held up surprisingly well, with softened tannins, a touch of zin fruit, and a pleasant dryness. Color is definitely brickish, but not yet to the orange end of the spectrum. Still quite well-balanced (maybe more so than when it was released).. If you stumble across a bottle, I'd suggest drinking it now, as it won't improve with more age (nor will I...). Finishing bottle on day three. This was probably a 90+ wine in earlier years.
