Shocking clarity for its age; no sign of oxidation, not a hint of clouding. Wonderfully bordelaise nose, confoundingly bright acidity, dry red berries, juicy black fruit, tobacco, leather, well preserved tannins just turning toward powdery. Stunning today, but nowhere near the end of its life. Drink or hold. Could slip this into a blind tasting of Bordeaux 5x the price and really piss off some Francophiles. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
