Very closed and flat - day 1 didn’t give me much, gave it a 2nd day and nothing doing. Think this one is sadly past it’s prime.

A bit sulfurous, and umami. Brick on the edges for this 20+ yr. old wine. Long smooth finish, but I think it was corked.

Great value wine for ¥2k/bottle. Had many bottles of this , it’s getting close to its peak and some bottles I’ve had are over the hill...

$29 for this 20yr old Bordeaux. 80% Merlot, 15% Cab Franc, 5% Cab Sauv. Medium bodied, Use an Ah-so opener. The adjective that comes to mind is: Savory!
