An absolute joy to taste and drink. Translucent, in the glass, with terrific brightness to the red berry fruit. A great example of the era.

Surprisingly refined. Didn’t expect much for the vintage but surprised us. Notes of milk chocolate, dried herbs, coffee grinds and a hint of tobacco.

Cork soaked :-(
Not totally cooked but definitely past its prime. Have another bottle I'm hoping will be better.
