"From one of the best vintages of the 1980s, this wine has held its freshness as its texture matured to silk. The scent of freshly dug earth and delicate cherry flavors are light yet sophisticated, the tannins still tight, as if ready to hold on forever. A bullfighter's wine, both elegant and tough, for rack of lamb." Wine & Spirits Magazine, Jun 2006
Provenance: The Alba Cellar
Notes: 1 chipped wax capsule, very lightly scuffed, 3 nicked, 2 lightly wrinkled, 1 torn, 1 lightly torn and 1 lightly wine labels.
