26 years on and still going strong. Likely doesn’t have a lot of time left. Took about 2 hours to fully open then it was all dried cherries, spice and silky tannins.

Drank this a bit past it's prime. Lost some of the tannic backbone but that's okay by me.

Absolutely stunning. Opened and aired for 24hrs before tasting. Layers upon layers here. Fruit and tannins still here and was continuing to evolve and open when finished over 4 hrs. Really a beautiful bottle. What a treat. Still got more to show us at 23 years.
