As corked a wine as I've had in a long time. Sigh.

Cherry nose. Still bright after 32yrs. Dust and red fruit and tobacco... tannins on this '87 are velvet and clean. Paired with roast tenderloin

Leather, smoke, cocoa and sour cherry. Super soft and elegant. Worth the wait.

It's 30 years old, and actually tastes better as it's decanted. There's a bit berry and forest on the nose, a decent middle with a mild finish. Long but not tannic. I'm surprised by it, and glad I had the chance to drink it. Note the low alcohol
