90 Points

Sunday, March 29, 2020 - The nose was lush and complex, dark fruits, spices and leather. However the palate was somewhat disappointing.

The vintage was hot and dry, supposedly typified by winemakers struggling with ripeness. In this bottle, with any trace of acidity completely lacking, fruit and structure have bled away over the past 2 decades.

What is still there is well made - you can definitely tell the quality of the producer. However there is a hollowness and simplicity that does not live up to their usual standards. Still an enjoyable bottle, though!
