  Still in good shape. Even had some fruit left and nice tertiary notes and acidit was well integrated. However, it wasn't overly long. I'll give the other bottle another 10 years and see if it is still alive.

  Still a tight package, vanilla and cherry, not very complex and with time in the glass the wine looses its focus is a bit all over the place.

  Fuller colour than the 82 Prado Enea alongside, denser and in the ruby rather than garnet spectrum. Quite a full, slightly sickly vanilla nose. Ripe, full, smooth but a little superficial/simple perhaps. Holds well and shows quite youth fully in a modern style. Very decent, but can't see one wanting more than a couple of glasses of this though — could get a little cloying. ***

  sherry notes, poturri. Drinking now with tannins fully resolved. Rusty in the mouth.
