Vintage 1988, my last bottle,an old lady with distinction, leather, tobacco, pencil shaving, autumn leaves, roundness and a velvety structure. I combined it with risotto fungi and Chaams hoen, a special slow food chicken from Brabant.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a red sauce pasta night at home. High shoulder fill, but the cork completely disintegrated during removal. Juice is still drinking exceptionally well; shockingly fresh for being 40. Tons of black fruit and strong spices, with its age showing via expected tobacco and leather notes. Very structured via strong tannins and acidity; long and smooth / velvety finish...meaning this still has room to run. Cheers!

What a treat! While the cork disintegrated upon contact, we were able to save the rest and were rewarded with a full-bodied, aromatic wine with strong tannins and a smoky aftertaste.
