1983 Dow
Deep red, mature; 90% opaque. Sweet black fruit spiced up with ground black pepper. Lovely black fruit on the palate and some dark chocolate, some gentle menthol heat, bold and mouth-filling; a little VA adds a touch of complexity but is not excessive. Black fruit gums aftertaste, menthol heat, a little dark chocolate and black cherry. Good length finish. 90/100. Drunk 30-Apr-22. Decanted 3 hours.
