…drinkable but not desirable. 18 years waiting to be drunk and stored properly… color was a brownish maroon and smell had the Lynch Bages quality funk…. Cocoa, coffee and truffle not sure about the experts thinking cherry and violet…. Again you wouldn’t not drink it; but you wouldn’t go out of your way to buy…. I’m probably being snobbish; not like we didn’t drink a 16’ Banfi Brunello before this…
