This wine was tasted in double-blind fashion at Vintage Wines, Ltd. The bottle was kindly provided by Ken Johnson. Deep amber in color, the wine at this point shows a bouquet of cigar box, prunes, leather and sherry-like notes. Full bodied on the palate, with medium acidity, melted tannins and flavors in line with the nose (including the oxidation). Medium finish. A very interesting tasting experience indeed, but clearly past prime. Drink now.
