There is real class and fineness to the higher-toned nose of orange zest, autumn leaf, smoke and incense that come through with terrific delineation for this level- I would have guessed wrong if I would have tasted this blind. Juicy acidity with resolved tannin today- none of the remaining firmness on some ‘78s. There is no reason to believe this won’t hold. Extraordinary showing for a half bottle, too! 93.

Rubin red with orange reflexes wine, consistent. The nose had some shades of a old wine but it was still amazing fruity. At the beginning some mushrooms. The palate at the beginning acid. But after a half hour fresh, round and still persistent. Great old wine!
