Mature colour, brick red rim. Hint of cork? Blows off. Developed, mature aromas of cigar box, cedar, blackcurrant, licorice, and a whiff of bonfire. Full bodied, fruity and mature with pleasant tannins. Juicy, with good fruit, but lacks some concentration compared with the marvellous '89. Ends relatively short. A decent wine, but 5 points off the younger sister.

This is just a very special wine. The lightest-looking red wine I have tasted - like watered-out strawberry squash. Unexpected aromas of fertilizer upon opening, transforming into aromas like of old burgundy - animal and mature raspberries. On the palate smooth, warm, tight and structured, but refined. Fruit, acid and tannins are so well interwoven. Long, warm and spicy aftertaste. Just a great wine which probably deserve a higher score, but lack of experience with old barolo makes it almost hard to judge.
