Strong ruby garnet with purple reflections, a delicate ochre touch and broad rim lightening. A smoky, intense nose of black berry jam, sour cherries and hints of mint and eucalyptus. The palate is juicy, majoring on black berries and liquorice, with silky tannins and a fine chocolate touch on the finish that lingers very long. Has great elegance, still top of its class.

Juicy, but somewhat deliquescent, already showing its age, subtle extract sweetness on the finish, delicate aged aftertaste, somewhat dry and lemony, a very mature bottle.
