(magnum) This has matured beautifully and is now in its peak of drinking - at least from the magnum format. The colour is still deep and dark; the bouquet is very complex, with roasting-pan, chocolate/mocha and raisin aromas with a trace of crushed-ant. It's very intense and powerful, and the tannins have mellowed out beautifully. It's amazing: I remember this as a very tannic youngster. The wine is now marvellous drinking. But you have to like the style: it is obvious that the wine was very oaky in youth.
