Very enjoyable again. Needs to be opened at least four hours before drinking, due to the firm tannins and structure. Notes of oak, spice as dark berry. The tension is my favorite part of this wine. Fine sediment, it is holding its own 28 years later!

This wine started-out very unbalanced. That may have my fault for not opening the wine soon enough. One of the most perplexing wines I have had. I am not sure why my experience was so different from the beginning to the end of the wine. My wife may have had too much influence on me, but she also grew to love it.
Notes of cherry, spice and earth floor.

Great mouth feel, wonderful balance, beautifully aged, notes of cherry, spice and tobacco. Drinking perfectly now, with a medium finish. Gorgeous layers of red fruit, expansive on the mid-palate. Memorable wine. 94-95.

Nice wine with hints of cherry and berries, finishes with a mouthful of meat and tobaco.
