Tasted blind. Light tawny and translucent. Old wine nose. Notes of soft delicate red fruit, light rhubarb, some mushroom and some sweet cherries. In the mouth it’s missing impact and energy. Acidity is very light. Past it’s prime, although I wonder if this was open too long as the host said it was singing when opened, but then had 6 hrs in the decanter. Guessed mid 60s red burg.

This was a generous treat for a Tuesday night. Surprisingly elegant and poised for a 1990, but amazing depth of fruit. Great wine.

A delicious bottle of wine.... tannins, dark berries, red flowers. A strong wine but subtle and beautiful.... will only get better with age
