Tasted annually, this was one the best bottles so far. Whether this is down to variance, or the last 12 months has finally moved it to its peak. I suspect the latter. Everything is integrated and well balanced with secondary and early tertiary notes. My only barrier to a higher rating is the finish, which has become a little over tannic as the fruit has faded. 93+

Super classic Bordeaux. Pencil shave and cigar box. No fruit but still vibrant and fresh. Plenty of life in this one still. Most underrated Bordeaux vintage ever?
Very dark red. Graphite and black currant nose. Full bodied, black and red fruit, some fruit liqueur. Tannin is obvious but fine and attractive. Will live until its 30th birthday, no problem.
