Very push deep and sexy. A lavish nose with damson and floral notes. Big fruit with plums, dark sweet fruit and some menthol. On the palate this is lush and mouth-filling. Hints of tobacco at the edges are the only sign this is 30 years old. Powerful. Lovely stuff.

Chocolate, cedar, pine, tobacco, tinge of dark fruits, tannins fully resolves like velvet on the palate, still great acid.

Whoa. Hits all the right spots for me. Balanced, lush fruit yet earthy characteristics, long finish.

Tired. Out of gas. Tomato soup- Merlot/Right Bank? Smoky barrel. Brown, cloudy. Broad and oxidized in the mouth. Not much left. Doesn't seem fair to rate. Cork must not had done its job for this long, a tall order.
