Mature berries and blackberry brandy aromas. Light bodied tasting of raisins, prunes, and a streak of blueberry. Well structured and very drinkable, even at this late date.

Red with brownish overtones colour. Nose: Ethereal blueberry, menthol and cinnamon. Palette: Blueberry, cinnamon, pepper and menthol overtones. Still quite a long finish. Quite a hot alcohol finish. Surprisingly still going strong after all these years. Superb wine, but nearly at its end. Drink over the next 2-3 years.

No formal notes/from memory.... Very nice balance and drinking well now. Not overly ripe or extracted. baking spice and blue fruit, good supporting tannins and acid.

After 2 hour decant opened up. Muted nose but very pleasant. Lingering taste of dried fruits and woods. Paired with grilled chicken and broccolini. Even better with food.

Beautifully strong sense of vanilla on the nose. Solid on the palate. I would have loved to enjoyed this wine in its prime.
