The RSV was fully resolved (probably a little past peak if being honest) - pretty floral spice notes and red berry fruit on the nose - elegant and airy. The palate is fully integrated with soft gentle fruit, gentle earth rones, mild acidity. Dries out a touch on the finish as the fruit has seen slightly better days. But I'd say a success for 80s RSV.

As good a bottle of this as I have had in recent memory. Fully resolved palate with clear RSV character. Transparent red fruit with tea and soft spice notes. Hints of dry soil on the edges. Subtle but beautiful. Held up quite well over the course of an hour in the glass

Lack the nuance of the '78 served alongside. Less expressive. Good but not great bottle. 91-92

Very attractive nose, open. Just drying out a bit at the end.
