1981: Table talk suggested old school reduction on the nose. On the palate, another story was told. Bold impact of fruit that remained sturdy from start to finish. Textbook flavors, yet framed by an unseen firm hand. Probably will not encounter this vintage again, on these mean streets of scarce wine, unless lucky to be struck by lightning twice.
