Friday, May 6, 2005 - More backward. Violet.
Beautifully sweet fruit, damson jam, and the tannin to back it up. Dry port. Menthol. Hugely rich 60 second finish. Vanilla. Developed some brettyness towards end after an hour.

Drunk with the 1989, what was very interesting is that after a couple of hours, there was a marked convergence between the two wines, with the fruit sweetening in the 1989. Interesting to see what will become of this pair, perhaps the 1989 will age better, but the 1990 was singing last night.
