Tasting note

Sweeter fruit, ripe and more youthful than the '91. Coffee again but also dark choc/cocoa. Pronounced and tightly woven fruit character - more red than black with distinctive sweet spice character on the lengthy finish. Needs a while yet before opening to its full potential. When to drink: 2013-2033. Tasted 24 Sep 2008. Score - 16.5 (out of 20). (Richard Hemming, MW, jancisrobinson.com, June 29, 2009)
