Smooth, polished and supple, with a nice range of plum, cherry and exotic spices. The velvety finish echoes fruit and spice.
I continue to see a resemblance in the rich, full-bodied, concentrated, ripe, and sexy 1985 to the brilliant wine made at this estate in 1970. Full, long, and powerful, this expansively flavored wine has considerable length and plenty of tannin, and will require some cellaring prior to consumption.
