A friend inherited his father's wine collection, this was in it. Pristeen cork, no wine this age could have better. Minimal sediment. What's in the bottle is all tertiary now, but in a fairly grand way for a wine that wasn't grand to start with. Decent fruit, nice oak spice and a bit of coconut (from, I presume, American oak). Best part was the long aftertaste. Fun!

A nice bit of plum and blackberry up front, but there's not a lot of length here to keep things going. A nice sturdy wine with a good amount of life left, with the fruit being consistant from start through finish, but again only moderate length. A nice visit to the 80s.
