  January 6, 2024 - Albino Memorial tasting. This Alzero combines the structure of 1988 with the spicy opulence of 1989. Radiant purple in colour, monumental structure, extremely concentrated and higher r.s. than the 1988.
  
  Attack of cassis, violets and herbs, touch of pine nuts. Harmonious texture with ripe tannins and aromas of kirsch, plums & prunes, figs, anise, venison, dark chocolate and fudge with additional complex flavours of tea-like essences, nice subtlety and depth.
  Youthful, almost oversized, but utterly convincing mouthfeel. Comes across as unevolved next to the 1989. Astonishing: that my glass of this monumental wine went down like liquified silk. Tremendous cork quality,14,5,% rel. alc.
