1993 Hess Collection

[winoweenie]

Found another orphan in the cellar last weekend along with it's previous vintage the killer 92. Took both to lunch today with a dear friend and his CB. Results are as follows. The 92 (WS #3 Wine-of-the_year) is still the complete package. Thot I'd depleted all the inventory 2-3 years ago. Still deep ruby, with no bricking. Lovely nose that is still redolent of red and black fruits, roses and lilacs, anise and cinnamon, and a background of wild strawberries. The palate gets all of the above along with bakers cocoa. Maybe just a tad on the down-side but wish I'd bought another couple of cases. The 93 is still a shade away from the top but still gives lots of juice for the buck. Very satisfying to all. WW
