Somewhat remarkably given the production level, I hadn't tried this since 1995. Bricked through. A notably ripe and highly expressive nose combines both secondary and tertiary aromas that are liberally laced with spice, floral and soft Asian tea-like aromas. There is still very good density and richness to the medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a solidly complex finish that is not overly '83 like in the sense of being excessively tannic though there is a hint of backend dryness. Overall, this is really quite good if not spectacular in the context of the vintage.
