Un vieux bordeaux tertiaire et indestructible (ou presque, 1990…), qui offre des tanins polis et policés, une fine mineralité saline, et de beaux arômes evolués sur le tabac, le cuir, le bois mouillé, la réglisse, le poivron compoté et les fruits a noyau. En bouche, rondeur d’un millesime puissant et assoupli par l’âge, et fraicheur de la finale font de ce modeste carbonnieux sur une grande année un joli Bordeaux au charme suranné. En tout cas il goutait étonnamment bien!

Parfaite maturité et excellence. Rubis profond, cèdre, tabac, fumé, fruit discret mais présent. Bonne longueur et présence soyeuse en bouche. Juste ce qu'il faut d'acidité, équilibre. Très bon vin. Aussi bon (ou presque) que le 82 pour moi.

A "lost" bottle found in my cellar, hopefully the last, but a nice experience despite that the bottle is older than its structure allows it to be. A good claret, earthy aromas, a little musty. Fruit is fading but it held well together. Should have been drunk a few years back.

Really pretty and expressive. Nice dark color. Plenty of fruit on the nose with backings of old wood/leather notes. Good body on the soft side and minimal (but not flabby) structure - mature. Good balance and a nice finish with the fruit holding a good bead and the leather/wood/funk notes harmonizing. Held really well for a couple hours. By no means profound, but a lovely mature Claret that performed above its class.
