A bricking but still ruby core. A fully mature, elegant and very perfumed and spicy nose of obvious breed mix with nicely complex, round and punchy middle weight flavors that are beginning to lean out somewhat on the moderately long finish. There are still some unresolved tannins which the acidity has the effect of firming up on the backend. This is drinking as well as it's ever going to and it would be best served with food. There is better overall balance here than in the '87 but less power as well.
