Mocha, espresso, cedar, tobacco and touch of leather. Drinking beautifully and didn’t need long in the decanter to really blossom

Showing very developed for "only" being 17 years old.
I blind-guessed this as a wine from the 70's and will need to taste it from another bottle before I make up my mind.

Site: Dark with a slightly cloudy body with a nice meniscus producing a graduated color scheme from the rim to the heart of the glass. Colors of deep dark burgundy to brickish garnet to a wide clear translucent brownish rim due to the age "1998".
Nose: tar and smoke with overripe black fruits. Barnyard smells of wet old leather and horse. Tobacco, pipe old smoked leftover pipe tobacco.
Palate: macerated, puréed dark fruit left to ripen. Cherry, cassis, cranberry, plums and blackberries.
Acid: high+, still solid tannic acid and fruit acids.
Finish: is long and lingering lasting.
Defiantly a steak and potatoes wine. A dish with out too much complexity to take way from the flavors of the wine.
