A rich, ripe and heady wine. There’s dark fruits, licorice and a grind of pepper. It is creamy, with a low acid feel. Some V.A gives lift to the finish. A hedonistic, pleasurable wine.

great fill. typical extremely dark colour, unevolved nose of impressive powerful impenetrable fruit, great density and richness of older g-ls from big vintages. reminiscent of 61, 45, 28, and almost as backward as an 1865 drunk in 1980. still closed after 2 hours but delicious, powerful, dense, dark fruit with plenty of tannin; and very long finish. could still improve for 20+ years.
