Looking back over old notes, I see I had this bottle in 2010. It is nice to revisit. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. The nose is dusty with cherries and slight mint. On the palate, this has a voluptuous texture. Plenty of cherry fruit with slight underlying forest floor. Still persistent tannins. At age 20, there is still some development probable. It has aged slowly and stubbornly but is still an outstanding bottle of wine. Given where it is, it should easily have another decade. More, for well stored bottles. This will go well with Osso Buco.
