No doom and gloom. Although it is a 1992, this bottle was very much alive and evolved over 3 hours or more without problems. Elegant and neat aromas and flavours of earth, menthol, gravel, cassis, flowers and dried fruits. Its medium bodied nicely concentrated and elegant freshly fruited palate has decent persistance and a medium length understated finish. Drink up soon. A nice surprise. 12.5%.

Firm black currant bouquet. Fairly full bodied and black currants in the taste and aftertaste. A lot of oak. And the bitterness and tannin that comes with a lot of oak. The wine is ready for drinking, but can last for some more years. I wonder if the fruit will hold up.

Inviting bouquet with fruit exclusive oak and a hint of sweetness. The taste is soft and creamy with pleasant fruit, oak and bitterness. Not very full bodied, but certainly a wine of distinction. Not for the long term.

An easy afternoon with close friends: Nice bouquet with some oak and red fruits. The taste is ok, with some complexity, some sweet and some bitter. Very supple and pleasant drinking, but by far not up to the standards of this wine. Drink now or soon.

clearly a decent wine but needs drinking...opened up for an hour or so after decanting but then faded quickly.
