  Lovely old classic wine. Wish they continued to make it like this.

  A touch of cigar box, cassis on the nose. Integrated, mature fruit with surprising body remaining. A wonderful wine.

  Excellent. Superb wine as usual. 13.5%alc.
  Colour: deep crimson, brown edges.
  Bouquet: mint and black currant, but very developed fruit, with leather, old spice, tobacco
  Palate: black currant and mint, huge body as it breathes with uplifted tannins, fruit an acid in harmony, soft fine grained tannins, leather, black fruits, black pepper, tobacco. Dry, chalky and grainy.

  Excellent, classic style, always so good, 13.5% alc.
  Colour: deep black currant, crimson edges
  Bouquet: black currant, vanilla and spice
  Palate: similar to bouquet, sweet fruit, strong vanilla, black currant and blackberry, leather and cedar and tobacco.
  Big but very soft fine grained tannins, black pepper, full bodied, very long clean, dry uplifted acid finish, silky texture. Fruit is very fresh, but elegant and sophisticated with layers of black fruits - blackberries, black currants, black cherries, black olives, black plums. Gorgeous and has years left still.

  Hadn't opened one of these for a while, so was pleasantly surprised as to how well this is drinking at the moment. Still good colour to it, and lovely fruit on the palate - the cabernet is really shining. Drink these up now
