Restrained fruit on the open, with notes of blackberry and dark cherry, before transitioning to notes of cedar, mushrooms, anise, and leather. More structured and tannic than the '88 Gloria consumed a couple of weeks before. Nice lingering finish on the tertiary notes and good balance to this wine. Having consumed a few '88's recently, there are similar notes in the tertiary flavors to all of these old wines. They have sort of a beautiful brambly back end that reminds me of freshly cut logs in the forest. Whatever it is, I'm a fan.
