". . .the wine retains very good balance and structural integrity at age fifty-two. The nose is deep, complex and quite tertiary at this stage in its evolution, as it wafts from the glass in a mélange of dried cherries, orange rind, forest floor, onion skin, gamebirds a lovely base of soil tones and a touch of curry in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and complex, with fine resolution to its structural elements, good depth at the core and fine length and grip. . ."
