Classic claret. Surprised there is still so much ripe fruit here. Bordeaux is truly immortal. Lovely smooth aroma of cherries and dark fruits followed by a hint of nuts and oxidation (pleasantly) with a really long smooth dry finish. Silky is the word to describe this. I drank it over two days and it was way better day 2. Minimal sediment. A fantastic Barton bottle from a great vintage. I paid about $100 for this because the label was scuffed and I consider it a great buy.
