Still very tight when first opened; needed at least 45 mins in a decanter. Wonderful wine regardless. Power and finesse in equal proportion.

Initially way more closed than the 1988. But after a little bit of time blossomed into a beautiful wine. Fruit was still there, but with more herbs and mint. Nice acidity on the palate with a long finish. This still has some upside.

Garnet color with a slight orange rim. Nose of lead pencil, dried herbs, soil and red cherries, with a hint of green peppers. Medium+ body, complex palate with the same flavors, and long finish. This softened considerably in the glass over the evening. Great wine.
