Wine was still firing on most cylinders even though its at end of life. I expected the fruit to turn halfway through but it held its own throughout the bottle. Obviously any tannic structure is long gone, but the underlying red fruit with a note of raisin(older wine) was very prominent and potent. Enjoyed it immensely as it drank very smoothly. Was prob like a 95 pt wine in the day.

Unfortunately was past its prime. Lasted 25 minutes. Initial fruit was blueberry pie and as expected, not much tannin left but enjoyable until about 30 minutes in when it was musty and undrinkable. Giving it a 90 from first tasting

Nice, lots of black fruit with some tobacco and smokey undertone.
