August 5, 2015 - Opened and decanted 1 hour prior. Level into neck. Cork broke in the middle, but both halves came out ok. Heavy sediment. Brown rim of mature wine but still bright at the centre. Some berry and chocolate on the nose and similar on the palete. Fruit flavour coming to the fore on the second glass. Very good for a thirty six year old wine from a good but not great vintage.

January 10, 1987 - A lot of fresh black and some red fruit in the bouquet. Liquorice. Same in the taste. Firm acidity and tannin that needs some more time. Medium bodied at best.
