Tasting Note: “This was one of the best showings yet for
this wine, which, to my palate and mind, has never lived
up to its eary potential. In this tasting, the 1982 revealed
a healthy dark ruby colour with lightening at the edge.
Intense, persistent aromas of saddle leather, roasted herbs,
scorched earth, and sweet black currant fruit were
followed by complex flavours of minerals, spice box, and
cedar. Although this medium-bodied, fleshy, ripe,
concentrated wine is not a blockbuster, as it unfolds, it
reveals layers of flavour in addition to this vineyard´s telltale
complexity. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020.”
