Återigen ett litet smakprov. Inlagd frukt, plommon, körsbär på näsan?. Lite jordig smak med trä , torkade frukter. Ganska bra syra. Känns nästan lite sluten. Min erfarenhetsbank av den här typen av vin är lite för smal för att ge en korrent bedömming men troligen kan det utvecklas framår med rätt lagring.

Bottle in good shape, with good fill and cork. In contrast to the 1982 Canon of the same evening, this had lost most of its fruit, though there was still a whiff of stewed fruit, mostly prune, on the nose. The taste was all secondary and tertiary for us , and was variously described as earth, tobacco, pine cedar, camphor (usually me after looking at a lot of camphor trunks last summer!), mineral, brine. Clearly showing its age, but nonetheless retained nice complexity and finish. This accompanied all the cheeses well, including surprisingly a gorgonzola dolce. A real pleasure to have two wines at such different stages of their evolution in the same evening.

Balsamic aromas a little bit dusty but still phenomenal

I saved it for sentimental reasons. Definitely past its prime. The fruit has faded. Mouth is fine, not cracked up or brickish or overly acidic.

Very consistent to my previous note.
Light brownish with mineral and muddy feeling. Very few fruits. 87-88
