Like the Roger Miller song “I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving, Now I’ll Be A Long Time Gone”.
Cork held up and came out smooth. Garnet/ruby color. Nose is old and green. Sous bois, tomato vine, and marrow. Fine silky texture. Would’ve guessed Loire Cabernet Franc in a blind. Past peak, but still fascinating to pick apart the development.

I liked this quite a bit. Cleaner than the ‘82. Nice fruit. Tannins are mostly resolved.
