Saturday, February 18, 2023 - medium deep red color, starting to brick at the rim, mature cassis and cedar on the nose, a bit of austerity, on the palate velvety fruit, tannins largely resolved, oak spice, walnut and a bit of dried herbs, fine length, elegant and understated- a more austere and slightly bigger version of the excellent 1989, regal, relaxing, in a great place but with decades of life ahead and perhaps even a bit more development.
****, ready to drink with time in hand
