53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot. Deep purple color (darker then I would have guessed considering the age of this wine) with a garnet rim. Aromas of blackberry jam, roasted meat, smoke, violets, forest floor and oak. Cooked blackberries, dried currants and earth on the pallet. Full bodied with a very long finish. Quite opulent and rich, even at twenty-plus years old. Mellowing with age but still fresh and powerful. Really nice treat. Thank you for sharing, James W. — 21 days ago
