Aromatic, spicy, almost intoxicating nose. Light to medium body. Everything: acidity, fruit, tannin perfectly balanced. Just lovely. Glad I waited.

Bought as futures. Stored at 55F. Brought to dinner at NY steak restaurant. Waiter nearly lost the cork but managed to screen out wet bits away from the decanter. Moderate sediment at bottom of bottle. Amazing this one still has minimal bricking. Aromatic with muted tobacco notes. Minimal yet sufficient tannins balanced nicely with darkish fruit notes and held up well with fatty steak. This one is still in the perfect drinking zone which, honestly, you could probably still say so in 10 years. BTW, the case cost me $350 back in 1984!

Unless you don’t care about aromatics, drink this close to room temperature. Take away the chill and enjoy the aromas and flavors. Good acidity of course.
