September 19, 1993 - Nice wine with some complexity and good oak. Supple, but still tannin to make it last for a few more years.

November 20, 1992 - Mature bouquet with complexity. Although there still is some tannin the wine is mature. Good balance between fruit and acidity. Somewhat short in the aftertaste. (This bottle was stored too warm for many years.)

January 19, 1991 - Full bodied and very pleasant with some complexity. Evolved during the evening and became more beautiful.

December 31, 1986 - Expressive bouquet with good cassis, freshness and oak. Full bodied with a good amount of tannin and fresh acidity. Cassis, oak and some liquorice in the taste. Good wine. Will gain with a few more years of ageing.
