While drinking, I kept thinking "we are not worthy!". Even though I haven't had much experience with Old World wines, even I recognized out of the 4 reds (this being number 4) that it was special. At 36 years, it's mind blowing that this still has life, character and fruit to it, though the fruit is secondary. Lots of herbs, funk, spice, leather. Still some power to it. What a treat to enjoy this wine.
