With a boneless ribeye. — 2 months ago
Double decant for sediment and pour. A splendid still dark tawny red color. On the nose: expressive notes of stewed blackberry/plum, worn leather, musty forest floor, truffles, mint. Taste: silky, elegant, savory wine with dried strawberries, leather, cedar, earth, and a peppery chocolate espresso medium plus finish. YUM! Still delivering like a champ at 45 years and glad to have a couple more bottles — a month ago
Magnum from winery in early 00s. Perfect color and big, deep aromas of cassis, horsehair, menthol & sage and vanilla oak, A polished feel (new oak). Just smooth & effortless, hardly any tannin on the finish. No sediment! Shows liveliness of its younger years, big sweet fruit and slight alcohol (like old whiskey). Stunned it kept in perfect condition — a month ago
v17. Very good! Soft, dusty, white pepper and tobacco nose. Fresh black currant and cassis fruit. Tight, chewy, black pepper, dried herb and leather finish. Nicely balanced. — a month ago
Great bottle! No 🐞 problem with this one. Quite complex and in a very good way right now. — 3 months ago
