A little more character than the 1983. Showing cedar, smoke, gun powder. Some signs of bright red fruit which quickly fade. A touch of green pepper. Angular.

At home in the evening. Gorgeous dark ruby color. Great legs. Nose shows blackcurrants and oak. Somewhat woody. On the palate, the wine is full, fruity, and flavorful, and soft, round and very drinkable. Charming, precocious wine. Delicious. Good finish. Lengthy. Really a nice wine for drinking in the near term. 5-10-16-8: 89/100.

Absolutely great! Had with seared duck breast, really great. 11%-12.5 alcohol. Quoting Greenblanket, my last bottle, I could cry.
