Amazing that this is still as lively as it is. It is demi bottle, 18 years old, and no aging what so ever. Cherries, leather, bayleaf. Bayleaf bitters.

It was only a 375ml bottle, so with this age I did not expect much. But certainly on the second day it was a pleasant wine. Vague hints of cherries, leather, and tobacco. Smooth tannine and low acidity. It still works.

Wow 48 year old Bordeaux! Way past its prime, tastes like port. Still drinkable though.
