Cork indicated good storage. Nose still had pronounced primary notes even after 30 years— blackberry and cassis underpinned by cedar and lilac. The palate was lively if restrained, with mostly resolved tannin and a very Pauillac sweetness. This isn’t going to get any better. Drink up.

Deep amber. Nose of barley sugar, nectarine, white flowers, baked apple. Creamy and lightly sweet, RS largely resolved after 40+ years, but with no discernible acidity underpinning it. Mid-palate is like a second cup of tea from the same teabag. The long finish is unexpected and intriguing but not enough to compensate for the overall flabbiness.
