Press releases... "Very good colour for the vintage. This is soft and attractively fruity on the nose with a touch of lead pencils. I like this. Much more interesting than the 1983. Slightly lighter. But balanced, fresh, with plenty of character and good lenght. This is really very good." Clive Coates M.W. The Vine .96 |
