Deep garnet in color with a bricking edge. Nose of figs, cherries, sherry, and hints of leather. Tastes of cherries, raisins, hints of chocolate, and tobacco. Evolved nicely over 3 hours. Nose was off putting at first but opened nicely over time. Tasted great and seems to be in a 5+ year window for drinking.

K&L Grand ItalianTasting (K&L Wine Merchants, Redwood City, California): Ruby red with brown edges. Port/Sherry smell. Burt caramel. A very good wine, but I'm not sure I like the style.

Similar to the 1979, but showing even better. The ageability of these wines is remarkeable, and the sweet spot really seems to be 25-35 years!
