Tasted in Bordeaux. Okay, but a bit tight and tannic at this point.

Fairly bright, with redcurrents and nicely integrated tannins. Not much by way of complexity. Apparently it is kosher.

Garnet Red with blue variations, over-ripe red fruits, black fruits, black cherry, pyrazines, leather, wood and spice on the nose. Confirmation of red and black fruit on the palate with hints of spice, black or white pepper and strong oak, smooth tannins and alcohol due to its beautiful aging ....this is the 2nd oldest wine I've ever tasted (2004 Rioja is the oldest). It really is a wildly beautiful thing, a gracefully aged wine.

Way past it’s prime. Still quite nice. Soft berries. Mushroom, forest floor notes. Smooth. Not too acidic. Too bad it wasn’t opened 5, maybe 10 years ago??

Open That Wine Night wine. Excellent pairing with strip, Caesar, and asparagus.

Drank well with a tomahawk steak. Another couple of years of aging would only help, but the 2015 was solid. #kosher
