A rich plum colour with dark reddish brown edges. The sweet smoky nose develops more in the glass. Very full on the palate, some warm cherry fruit, lovely balance, long, almost toffee on the finish.  Big structure, long and lingering. While drinking beautifully now there's no hurry except to release the pleasure.
Tip: 
This wine will have thrown a light deposit in the bottle so we recommend that it be decanted just before serving.
Corks in older wines sometimes become more likely to break when being removed, so please take care with the cork in this wine: it’s been undisturbed for more than 20 years and may not like it!
