Beautiful garnet color. Smokey, musty, and earthy on the nose. Cedar, black raspberries, leather, and tobacco. Well integrated and not overpowering. Very satisfying finish. A real treat to drink a 40-year old wine that is so pleasing to smell, look at, and taste. — 3 days ago

Always a pleasure. I like the spice, the body it has and the acidity that adds to the complexity and freshness. — 11 days ago
