95 Points

Friday, April 27, 2012 - Tasted next to the 1978 the nose is so much riper - red fruit and distinct blood character. The palate is still somewhat unevolved and tannic but you already get distinct flavours of smoke, tobacco and tar. Utterly brilliant wine that just needs some years. My guess is that somewhere between 5-15 years from now would be a great drinking window.
