My last bottle, also the last from the 'original' off-line in NYC back in '02. Opened and not decanted.
Showing little signs of age, with deep ruby coloration and long legs. A bit of funk on the nose blew off within 5 minutes, revealing a lush, fruit-laden wine. Still has tannin and acid for aging, though it's a real pleasure to drink now. Slightly better than the '95 Ch. Pojeaux, but not by much. 88-89 pts.
Who says there aren't any ageworthy cabs/blends coming out of Sonoma?
