Mature ruby with an amber sheen.  Forrest red berries from deep green shade, resiny and succulent.  Secondary notes of spent-darjeeling, shiro-shoyu and jus.  No sous-bois yet.  After the ’89s it’s nice to have a wine with definitive grip.  Lensing acidity; the tannins are now resolved. The wine is mature without a hint of astringency.  A finessed velvet now; a wine for game.  For drinking soon; will keep beautifully.
