Fragrant, old-world barnyard, horse sweat, a bit tired, whereas the 1989 was in a totally different place. The '89 was much fresher and had the acidity to carry it many more years. The '90 developed nicely as the evening progressed, integrating the barnyard with herbal characteristics. The '89 not as much. This was a thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating bottle, but I would recommend drinking any you may have very soon.

Light in color, and a beautiful fragrance of dark fruits plum and cherry. Light and deft in the mouth too, a perfect choice for my crippled palate.

Classy and exotic, with a great, fragrant nose and a lot of deeper fruit on the palate. Juicy red plum. A beautiful 2nd wine for Cos.
