A little dusty sweet spice, plums, touches of fresh blackcurrant, forest floor just beginning to show on this bottle, rich, some tiny little tomato leaf note, mushroom. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, woody drying talc textured tannins, plenty of dark fruits show plums and currant, almost a little raisin note. Powerful long, a little savoury yeast extract on the finish. Demands protein from the cow, charry on the outside, bloody in the middle.

Rich and still primary deep black fruits, dark chocolate, silky tannins, long and maybe nearing its prime, but beautifully structured to last 30 years. Would pair perfectly with a not too spicy mole negro duck or chicken, or for dessert, with dark chocolate and blackberries. WOTN over some stiff competition: ‘90 Sassicaia, 75 Heitz MV, and Gaja Sori Tilden. Thanks Irv, Jamie, and Acker!!!

From Coravin. Plums, red berry fruit, chocolate, a little mint and green tea as well. Juicy, fresh, savoury & concentrated dark hued fruits with that red berry underpin, chocolate, oak is now integrated, tannins (woody though quite silky) and flavours travel very long. It's all a bit clever. Yum.
