(12-1998) Fruity from the start. Drinking well in 1990 and most recently, delicious, fragrant; very sweet, soft, chewy fruit, well balanced, dry finish.
(07-2002) Good colour variation in the glass suggesting considerable evolution. Relatively subtle nose. Lots of fruit impact. Quite chewy with some particularly grainy tannins well in evidence.
