1994 Burmester
Re: 1994 Burmester
B94: red pink brown, 70% opaque. Light, pleasant, some perfume. Too light.
Re: 1994 Burmester
40% & very light coloured. Pleasant, light nose still showing some fruit. Palate similar to nose. OK. 5/7.

Mature copper-red colour, 60% opaque. Bright nose with rounded mature fruit; very expressive with a little sous-bois. Gentle, mature fruit on the palate. Mid-weight and slow to reveal what it has to show but the wine steadily builds up to be a wonderful mouthful of a berry-juice reduction. The aftertaste is full of cedar and pine and has a great length finish. Really rather lovely. 93/100.
I love it when I have a totally different view of a wine than everyone else!
