Decanted into a jug and served into our glassware. A rich and deep strawberry red, looking nothing like its 43 years of age. Initially, I nosed burnt prune, a touch of herbs and a hint of volatile acidity (VA). With air, the VA increased. The palate was truly surprising, as it tasted so fresh! A velvet mouthfeel, dark plum fruit and not tannic at all. This gave us all a lot of pleasure.
