Staggering after 27 years. Rock solid fruit, smooth and succulent fruit with light herbs on the edge. Shows the might of this vintage.

Not terrible and by that I mean extremely underwhelming. It's what I refer to as "neither ass nor elbow"... overly obvious green stem character partially integrated with ultra ripe fruit. I remember drinking this wine about 6 years ago and it was impenetrable. More enjoyable now, but not by much.

Still brooding and powerful like a meaty blueberry patch. Bright acidity too.

Olives and surprisingly floral. Well-made and well-balanced wine.

Spicy, white pepper nose. Round, full and so smooth. Structured, yet soft, tannins lead to a satisfying finish.

Color is light garnet. Aroma of cherries and damp forest aromas. Beginning to loose its fruit. Cork was solid and stained a deep purple black.
