Superb. Balance just right between primary fruit, tertiary and games notes. Lovely richness of fruit. Beautifcul colour too. A warm, bright clear ruby with just a touch of mahogany. Nose was rich, sweet and yet beautifully pure. It leapt out of the glass and completely enveloped you. Palate was full and intense with lovely focus and refinement. A real richness of fruit by the end of the bottle. Drinking really well now but had plenty more to give.

Superb. Against 1990 Calon and 1985 Cheval-Blanc it was the wines of the day. Lovely seet fruit and the classic purity and expression of Graves. Some earthy, smoke and undergrowth character and a touch of salami/dried meat character. Length was impressive as was the balance and purity.

WOnderful. Just got better and better as the bottle developed. CLASSIC Chassagne with intensity, purity and a wonderful drive of minerality. SO enticing. It has lost the freshness of youth and developed some wonderful tertiary aromas. Still plenty of time to go though.
