"Half a dozen consistent notes from the mid-1980's: glorious colour; fleshy ripe fruitness on both nose and - for a '79 - on the palate. Endorsed by my most recent note though its tannin now laid bare - a lean, attenuated, spicy, teeth-gripping finish. Good length. Needs food. Last noted at the 'exponential' (I keep having to look this word up) tasting in New York, Dec 1998 ***" MB, Vintage Wine
