From Magnum. Time has mellowed down this bottle. Meek notes of leather, soil and some black currants. Acid is medium, tannins have been rescinded. Elegant but lacks a bit of life. Enjoyable but highly doubt this will get any better. This is on the down slope. Drink up!

OK wine with notes which remind me of an aged Cabernet (older than 1991). Wet leafy tobacco at first with completely velvet smooth finish of dried fruits. Apricot, very slight tannin finish on the tongue.

This is a lovely wine, at its peak I should think. still some fruit, but tannins gone.
