Needed older wine tonight. Nose of mushrooms, wet earth, tobacco, gamey meats, vegetables, so so complex. So shroomy. Palate is superb. Fresh, complex and very nimble. Red cherry and red currant fruit. Velvety tannins. So pure. Long. Lingers. So great. World class wine.

Fun. In excellent shape
Bell pepper bomb
Lovely aromatics, mushrooms, coffee, chocolate, wet earth
Red cherry, black cherry, vegetal, earth on palate
Silky, low acid, lengthy finish
Contemplative and ethereal but easygoing at the same time. Love it

Pretty good juice for 20+ years old. Black pepper, leather, smoke, tree bark, but still with some acidity and fruit. Maybe preserved lemons. 1997 vintage.
