Same as previous tasting note, still some life left thankfully and must have been well cellared. Ideal drinking window is 20min - 2 hours after opening.

Opened on Valentines day, paired with filet au poivre. Recently purchased 2 bottles, clearly well stored but over the hill and well passed it's prime. Still incredibly enjoyable. Strained, decanted, and started drinking right away. Prime window lasted for about 45-50 min and then it started to fade. Would have liked to have had these about 8-10 years ago, but pretty cool experience. My first taste of a birth year wine.

RED BROWN ON THE EDGE. RICH DEEP BERRY FRUIT IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR, BLACKBERRIES, RASPBERRIES AND BLACK CHERRIES WITH HINT OF LICORICE & LEATHER IN THE NOSE. NICE COMPLEXITY, LONG FINISH.

Certainly past peak after 40 years, but still very enjoyable.
