Opened 1630 on 08/12/19, decanted 1930. The wine very clean, only the last tablespoon needing to be set aside with a thick sediment that otherwise stayed in the bottle. The last tablespoon promising violets.

D91. Glorious red, 50% opaque. Lovely red cherry, mid weight, heat. Also a dry spice behind. Liked, but lighter and overdeveloped for its twenty-eight years.

Red rather than dark, pale at rim. The violets from decanting are gone, now quite spirity on the nose. Red fruits on the palate. I am not wholly convinced it will age gracefully, but it is quite pleasant. Equal #4 WOTN on the night of the horizontal - with the Noval Nacional, which tells you a bit about both.

Fairly light in colour, nice sweetness and plenty of fruit on the nose. Liked it less in the mouth with acid out of balance and little tannin left.
