Light red showing some browning towards the rim. Powerful notes of red fruits and licorice on the nose. On the palate this wine was excessively sweet and showing little more than weak flavours of cherries and assorted mixed red fruits. Medium bodied with mild tannins. Not rated but massively unimpressive. I picked this up from Majestic about six months ago. It was the last bottle from an "exclusive" parcel which, i was informed, had sold very quickly.

Fully mature and a little weak at first but it developed in the decanter to reveal nice mellow mature red fruit.

I was affraid that it was too old now before tasting it, but it's delicious, very sweet taste with some red fruits and canella aromas.

Firm, almost weighty, traditional, 1989 richness, à point, sturdy tannins, lovely length, rather blunt, very good quality.
