"100% Cabernet Sauvignon planted very differently from today. 11 months in French oak. Very wet winter. Dark, very shaded ruby. Strong iodine nose. Quite old nose but not nearly as old as many 1983 red bordeaux would be! Dry but fresh. Some sweet fruit but really resonant with strong balsam notes. Wonderfully resonant finish. Hugely distinctive."
