Popped, decanted and drank over 2 hours. Dusty sweet cedar, fig and raisin on the nose. Soft black licorice, tea, sandal wood and fruitcake. Medium body, well balanced with some acid on the palat. Big hit around the table and what a surprise!

Old tasting note from 1994. 16/20 Very deep color. slightly amber edge. Still a bit closed. Red fruit, tobacco, animal. Needs time. Fruit is not drying up. Noticeable alcohol with plenty of tannin and acidity. Improved considerably in the glass.

Still brick red with very little browning. Velvety texture with full flavour.
