Soft and supple with delicate blue plum fruit on the nose. A very nice interplay between the restrained plum and earth overtones and the hint of nice slightly (but pleasantly) sour blue plum skin flavor. Holding up nicely

For 42 years old (1973) this was drinking amazing!!!! Soft Cherries shadows of oak that have lite sexiness of vanilla. I was so lucky.
