Cork was completely black throughout and you could push it right in if you tried. Orangey brick red, with very light edges. A bit dirty on the nose with ripe cherries, cigar box, smokey and leather. Very drinkable, low tannins (4.5/10) and light bodied. Tannins show through in the rear of the palate with balanced acidity. Flavors of cigar, sweet spices and cherries. Short plus to medium length finish.
Stunning for a 40 year old wine.
