Wow - even better than a few months ago. This cork was in great shape. After a short decanting, really amazing flavors which are both young and tart and earthy at the same time. Could smell this for hours.

Hard to believe this is 19 years old - tasting very fresh and bright. Nose is really deep - great leather and dark cherry. Taste is surprisingly fruity and floral from what I remember when it was younger. Could smell it for hours but actually a bit thin on the tongue. Cork broke on opening but didn't look like anything leaked past it

Very nicely done. Paired well with rosemary crusted pork chops. Excellent nose, pure WV, with very earthy and mushroom tones you sometimes find in Shea fruit. Cherries were pleasing on the palate, and this bottle had some acidity left to puncuate the finish. Really very good for the vintage.
