December 20, 2015 - Mature nose, spicy with pleasant sweetness. On the Palate, the wine has good presence and a silky quality. Medium length.

Probably past its peak. -

July 12, 1991 - As my previous note. More developed though. It went faster than expected. Now a great wine with good refinement. Still creamy and fruity with good acidity and a long aftertaste. The tannin seems to be ready now. Do not store extremely much longer.

January 5, 1990 - Expressive and mature bouquet with cassis, good oak and liquorice. Same on the palate as well as pleasant oak. Sticky tannin. Some sweet liquorice. Really a nice drinking moment. The wine offers all it has and even some future due to the good tannin.
