"I misjudged the '83 in its youth. It went on to mature rapidly in 1993 and 1994, and suddenly its bouquet and taste were huge. A tidal wave of sweet tones meets the palate, embedded in an oily, silk-smooth structure. A long aftertaste of almond and vanilla. Today truffle scented bouquet and integrated taste."
