Underwhelming, but fun to open a 1993 on July 26th, 2020. There were decent cranberry notes, but overall pretty muted notes.

Last bottle of the case I purchased years ago. Tobacco, slight mushroom, nice fruit and mouthfeel. Alcohol 14.5% and took my breath on the first sniff. Will enjoy it sipping and cooking dinner.
