Tasted over two days. Very good presence on the first day, good concentration, better than bistro quality. The wine had added a little weight and energy on the second day. This should be enjoyed in the near term, by 2020 or so. 88-89.
P.S. Opened this the day after opening the same vintage Chateau de France (Pessac-Leognan) and Senejac, which provided solid basis for analysis of all three wines. The Chateau de France was the best, hands down, and it was not close.

Medium+ bodied. A lot of flavor and long finish, but a bit green.
