Denver wine merchant had this for $60. I used a Durand to open it. Apologies not getting the fill level in the shot but it was up to bottom of the neck and the other 2 bottles had a consistent fill.
Color is normal for the age a solid red in the middle which fades into the orangish warm campfire color. Very impressive
Nose is very pleasing, soft cherry/sour cherry, mushroom, damp mossy wood, floral, slate, Brie cheese.
Taste is soft tannins, full bodied, relaxed and elegant. Still tiny good amounts of red fruit which I’m in love with. Tobacco, milk chocolate. Grippy on the gums. Blackberry bush, concentrate I guess. But I do enjoy this as I’ve never had something like this.
$60- idk if points are meant for a wine this age but I like it. 90 points

89 is a fave of mine. Glad you found a sound example of such a fantastic vintage.
Ugh, so good!
