In magnum. Smooth and elegant with black berries and not pat prime.

Oxidized and past its peak. But still complex and drinkable.

Singing like Daryl Hall. Sappy Grenachiness in spades. Shows a prominent black pepper/herbal savoriness to match the sweet fruit. This has aged beautifully.

Aug 27th, 2016Drink now. Crossed apex but still a wonderful mature CDP. Feminine but drinking glorious with ripe earth notes underpinning cherries and figs. Yummy.

Oct 26th, 2015Phwew. This is a superb wine. Wife bought it 20 years ago and cellared it since then. Lots of fruit for a 22 year old wine. Good amount of tannins-sharper than a Bordeaux. Lots of aid to go with food, but I'm enough of a fan of the style and particular wine in particular to drink it after dinner. This one is a '94.
Could definitely age it for longer because it has the structure. The wine pros on Delectable also seen to indicate that 1985's are drinking particularly well right now.

Just singing. This wine never gets tired. Fruit, tannins, balance ... all in harmony.
