Good wine but a little bit overdone on the wood and consequently the vanilla flavour. Personally, I think a bit more "elegance" would be better

39 years later, she's softened quite a lot but still holding on. Thinned sweet and sour cherries, underbrush, saddlewood, rustic, sawdust and a long elegant sweet cherry finish. Drink now if you have it. Amazing with the ribeye in butter.

Opened great. First glass was wonderful. Didn’t hold its composition. In fairness, we were searing beef at the table so the temperature could have affected the wine.
