Dried cherry, blackberry, gravel, forest floor; aged and dusty, but still some fruit; good balance and good length; a fine mature claret with a little life still remaining

Mid mahogany to brick red rim. Clear evolution with developed mushroom, dried earth, undergrowth and touch of chalk. the shoulder height was a little low so wasn't expecting too much. A medium-bodied palate that is soft and pliant with a touch of sweetness, some chalk and earth joining fragments of red berries and dried flowers, talcum powder and cedar. Not a lot holding it together and sagging in the middle, it is a fun wine to try at 35+ years of age!

kleine demi Flasche, seine 36 Jahre scheinbar spurlos überwunden, Korken, Füllstand, Farbe, alles wie ein junger. am Rande des Glases ein schmaler blasser Streifen, gerbende Tannine, etwas zu kräftig, bitter und bockig, darunter aber schöne Muskeln, Mineralien und Würze. Noch weiter lagerfähig?

Drank to celebrate E's birthday. With Allen, Luz, Gus and Josie. For a weak vintage, this was surprisingly good!

sehr dunkles, schwarzes Rot
etwas alt, fast scharf, zu viel Säure, Frucht nicht in Tannin gebunden, daher nicht elegant, sondern etwas herb
