Really this hasn't been stored properly, maybe in "ok" conditions but over ~32 years......
Surprisingly this is still enjoyable and still in balance. The fruit is all of the reduced or dried kind (think prunes and raisins) but it is still very much there!
Really despite the prolonged "ok" cellaring this is in very good shape. I can't believe I keep going back for more.
A real testament to excellent, tried and tested winemaking.👍
