I found that this wines’s deep musky barnyard scents/taste overwhelmed its refined plum, golden raisin, and fig pallet. Maybe 16 years in the bottle was too long? Probably for me, but maybe not for you. Worth a spin.

DRINK NOW IF YOU HAVE ANY ‘02 LEFT!!! Absolutely on its last leg - drinkable, but very brown rim with slightly “dirty” fruit. This was a wonderful wine just 2 years ago - dropped fast! Note: pro cellar with other wines showing fine. I have 3 more - will open another tomorrow to see if this was a one-off issue or the end of a vintage.
