Animal notes on the nose, the palate has sherry flavours and is oxidised, diminishing fruit, coffee, this should have been consumed years ago, could a bottle thing (top shoulder fill).

On opening and tasting this wine I was blown away by sheer elegance and style which seemed to be nigh on perfection. Two hours later much of this had vanished and the overall impression was of a fading masterpiece. Initial score 99/100

Brick red body with clear/orange meniscus. Lovely mature red fruit bouquet. On the palate there's well balanced, mature red fruit flavour good acidity, light grained tannins and a dry, lengthy finish. This is a light, fruit driven, mature red with excellent balance and finish. Now in it's 32nd year and holding up well.

Awesome nose with tobacco, spices, dried fruit, wood. Fully mature and silky tannins, long finish. Can´t get enough of it.
