Rich concentration & intensity, slightly unexpected of a wine of this age, dark black plum & anise, spent black tea, dirty dried leaves/undergrowth, it's a modern style developing extremely well.

Incredible for a 36 year old wine. Fruity, tobacco with pleasant older tones. No more tanine, acids are smooth.
