"A beautiful plummy, aniseed-infused nose. Not powerful, but great balance with prunes, dried leaves and aniseed on palate. A little austere but drinking well now. Better than 1978. Intriguing. A second bottle in December 2004. Again that odd aniseed nose that is so distinct. High-toned, almost New Worldy . . . . The palate is fleshy with notes of redcurrant of coffee . . ."
