Brick red colour in the glass. A lighter, nuanced floral nose with hints of cedar and myrrh. On the palate, peony, cinnamon, and plum shine as dominant flavours. The taste is a bit acid forward- the fruit has definitely faded after 24 years. Length is good 45+ seconds with decent, delicate mouthfeel. Acids have taken over a bit- still a beautiful wine, but right at the end of its drinking window.
