My 11th bottle of an original dozen bought on release. Still going strong after 26 years. Colour of mid crimson with a tawny rim. When decanted the wine threw a lot of sediment. Herbaceous with red fruits - hint of red currants. Palate is mid weight - sweet and savoury at once, finishing with smooth resolved tannins. I will leave the last one for another 1 or 2 years / say early 2027.

This wine rrrrocks! Smoky beef, brambly fruit, high toned and very, very complex. Pitchblack color tells me this can go very long. Outrageous stuff.
