The sommelier warned us that this might be over the hill, and we were delighted to find that he was utterly wrong! The colour was lightening up, brick at the rim, but the core was a remarkably youthful garnet. The aromas were reserved but still youthful, and the blackcurrant fruit was nicely accented with notes of cedar, woodsmoke and leather. Holding up well on the palate, it was silky and wispy and the tannins were completely resolved; it retained an elegant presence and was not out of balance in any way. The wine was mature but still provided a fascinating, compelling glimpse of wine more than 100 years ago. Consumed at Bern's, Tampa, just before Covid lockdown in 2020.
