Acidity on this is crazy considering it's 40 years old. Cherry and light tobacco. Treat.

I am sooo impressed with this. Granted, we bought and brought it right from the winery (stored in their cellar for all these years); but, for me, this has been unlike any older vintage I have had to date. It was so smooth and elegant and still so complex. It kept evolving and shifting in just the short time we spent together (from an initial nose that hinted at age to toasted almond to a hint of Port to snapped tree branches) and left me wondering who it really is—what it was in its prime—and, inevitably, wanting more.

Lots of red fruit and quite floral, solid tannins and still pretty good at 39 years... Late release
