Tasted blind. Clear, pale ruby with a garnet rim. This had pronounced fruit (red cherry, dark cherry, strawberry, blackberry), with forest floor, savoury mushroom and some minerality. High acidity, medium body, medium(+) intensity, medium(+) ripe tannins. Medium finish. Amazing to have so much fruit from a village wine of this vintage!

Dinner at Imperial Treasure: Appearance was pale ruby, with bricking at the rims. On the nose, savoury, aromas of mushrooms, earth, soy, red and dark fruits. The palate was dry, high acidity, high (chewy?) tannin, medium+ bodied. Long finish. Good that the fruits are still holding up pretty well despite its age (1984).

Smooth sleek and elegant. Still lively though shorter finish than the 85. Floral , autumnal red fruits.
