2002. Opened Friday night and decanted. We keep trying it, every 6 hours or so. It's like breaking a wild horse. I'm patient. Score may change.

Excellent and smooth tannins. Just a touch on the fruity side but excellent balance. Ours was miss treated by standing out up for several years, but survived ok.
