1993 mag - big bold and beautiful - one hour decant was needed and frighten when cork was cracked when pulling but man this big boy was singing

Now all that said - this wine was absolutely ready to be enjoyed - if sitting on this one better drink it

Color was darkest red and smell had it all with the taste of black fruits and the finish was not the longest but definitely satisfying

Good friends and good wine equals great smiles

Classic Spottswoode with great finesse and balance. Plenty of fruits and tannins to last for a lot more years.

Really fresh and lively, red cherry, damp forest floor,, a pretty sweetness, some cinnamon stick, floral and some spice. Lovely!
