I have a soft spot for this bottling given a lovely ‘94 many years ago. This is totally different. Nose shows VA. Some cedar and oak spice. Black fruited palate but somewhat behind rather asteingent tannins. Seems out of balance and probably over the hill.

Garnet color in the glass, fairly clear looking. Nose of menthol, eucalyptus, berries and cherries. Flavors of berries, cherries and a hint of currants. Medium acidity, medium tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink now.

Oh my gosh! It’s 22 years old and still a blueberry milkshake. Horrifying and mystifying at the same time!

Aging well! Light fruit bouquet. Light tannins. Soft raspberry and cherry on the palate. Long, smooth finish.
