Impressive at 36 years. Apparent fruit, good acid. Rating based on the day and wine at the time. Candidly, nostalgia influenced somewhat.

Rich and pheromonal. Lovely balance. Excellent acid and depth. A beautiful wine. Better than 1980. From Magnum.

Dusty sulfur aroma but still very balanced and rich with velvety texture after 38 years. Phenomenal!
