A well aged beauty, now slowly falling apart, as its fruit has faded. Soft tannins still present but the acidity has become too dominant. Still an honor to taste.

Too modern for me. A lot of fruit & oak flavours.

I didn't want to brush my teeth last night the finish was so long and good. Crushed berries, raisin, a bit of mushroom, under some bright fruit. Tasted over two nights. 1997.
