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. — 2 years ago
Nice orange peel touch. Lacking a bit on the mid palate but Then it waft back vividly on the aftertaste. 94-95 — a month ago
