Note di degustazione
Excellent ruby-red color. Less expressive, youthfully unevolved aromas of cassis, black cherry, tar and shoe polish, plus a varnish-like high tone. Strong in extract and quite dense but very tightly wrapped today. Slight suggestion of nutty herbaceousness. Finishes with substantial chewy tannins, but also very long on the palate. This showed more and more texture with extended aeration. A slightly more rustic wine than the '91, but one with a long and bright future.
