Lovely nose - sweet spices, coffee, chocolate, ripe fruit. Generous, open and quite pretty. On the palate a little broad with good weight, ok acidity, dense, quite long. No rush drinking up. 91-93

Tasted after 1999 Convento San Francisco. Hardly any evolution in terms of colour. Much less expressive on the nose in comparison. Dark fruit, spices, tobacco, a hint of shoe polish. Quite grippy and firm on the palate. Good fruit and acidity, medium length. 89-91

Not showing its age at all really. Deep ruby coloured, very rich and juicy. Tannin have benefited from the time though and really well integrated.
Think this has a few more years in it yet. V enjoyable.
