An interesting 28yr old. Cork was 1/2 dry and broke. Managed to get the other half out. Gentle decant. The first sip was intense funk, but it quickly mellowed with air and is now showing such pretty dried fruits and some leather and chocolate notes, as well a some root vegetables and pepper. I really enjoy how a well aged Bordeaux can be exciting as it changes in your glass over a few hrs. More about the Hartford later.

This wine was great but it was up against the 90 which is not fair. The,89 is drinking superbly but it's at peak.
