Nice balance and solid red and black fruit. Not earthy-just fruit. Drinking well but somehow thin and fragmented on the back palate and finish. A bit of bitterness

Elegance and silky smooth with still vibrant fruit characterizes this wine whose perfect cellaring rewards those with patience.

Decanted after standing for about 6 hours. On first approach the nose was sweet, amazingly youthful for a 30+ year old wine. Medium body, dark fruit, cassis, vegetal notes, sous bois even. The structure was textbook claret - strong backbone and gripping Cabernet tannins. A sensual wine, but not beguiling like great burgundy. Still, it was a classic and I wish I has another bottle!
