(01-1993) Burgundy red color. Ruby. Lively with a hint of evolution. Nose of medium intensity. Fine, floral. Ripe fruit. At the animal peak agitation. Soft attack, developing on a soft and dynamic structure at the same time which evolves elegant on a straight form towards a finish with balanced tannins but once again on a slightly lively register, which surprises for an 85. Finesse nevertheless.
(01-1998) The 1985 has a full-intensity, spicy, herbaceous, richly fruity bouquet, medium body, soft tannins, and a supple finish.
