Wonderful nose, but very tertiary. Lots of damp soil and wet stone, reminiscent of a forest during a downpour. Some peppery notes, but never veering to vegetal. Good flavor, quite sweet and generous, perhaps a bit low in acidity.
Let down by the complete absence of any tannin, which means it doesn't have much structure to keep it from becoming a bit cloying on the finish.
This wasn't the best fill out of the bottles I had, but based on this bottle, this wine needs drinking ASAP.

All old bottles are a crapshoot...A little over the hill if drank alongside younger wines. Hints of raisin lurking from under all the meaty good mature notes. Very good length, but lacked freshness that I had hoped for...High hopes for the next bottle. DRINK

nach Gloria -86 eine deutliche Steigerung.
Nicht alt, nicht „vo“. gereift, füllig. Ein Trinkspass

mäßiger Füllstand.
Korken fast durch, aber unproblematisch Ziehharmonika
reine saftige Frucht, dicht
Keineswegs „vorbei“
Den Rest gab ich Klaus mit
