Not too soft, at least this bottle. Adequate acid and tannin to compliment some mushroom ravioli with butter sautéed mushrooms. No fade with airing, even at 21 years. How can earthy underbrush things be so elegant? Far to easy to drink.

Deep brick red. Very extrovert and rich nose of mature strawberries, cherries, anise, sandalwood, earth and underbrush. Nuanced and dynamic. Palate is juicy, silky, slightly spicy and long. Totally seamless; almost too soft. Perfectly mature with weightless intensity, and a very pleasant surprise.
