Expressive Bordeaux like nose. On the palate very resolved tannins complimenting secondary and tertiary flavors. If you have them drink them.

Not my favorite vintage of opus. Too lean and faded at points. Not much power and texture as I would like at this age

Christmas brunch with special meaning. My Opus collecting started with this 1986 in late 1980s bought by mistake by my future wife. The marriage is a 10 and the wine today about an 8. Prosecco San Venanzio Fortunato where I visited with my son this summer. An excellent wine. A day of traditions with memorable wines.

Gaaf om een keer te mogen drinken. En nooit gedacht dat de wijn al 28 jaar oud zou zijn.

Kept a library of bottles from various special evenings: this is one of them - it was a gift from the winery after a visit there in the early 1990s
