Tasting Notes
February 1999: Powerfully glossy with a black core, on the nose, tobacco-leaf berry notes, with blueberry, showing a somewhat more individualistic, iodine note. Powerful, earthy nuances on the palate, suede, idiosyncratic, very sweet, great length, the tannin is so thick and liqueur-like that it could pass as a spread.
