Above all it has been affected by the profuse rains during July and September. The color is light and rather developed. The ever-present woodiness is uncertain.

    Tasted from magnum. A light, sweet wine, extremely drinkable. Medium red in colour, with a garnet edge. Has leathery earthy aromas, medium-bodied, sweet tobacco and earth flavours and a caressing mouthfeel. James Suckling (11/1991)
