Next to 97 VR, this is clearly less Jayer. At open the aromatics… we could smell it from two meters away. Light garnet clear color (looks filtered?), purple and blue fruit, some notable overripeness and lightly earthy. Bigger palate with very very good structure, and certainly a very classically made wine, but I do not see this improving any more. 94

Brought to Paulee and for many this was the WOTN. Perfectly aged and well balanced wine at this stage. Bright red fruit, clean and crisp palate with great spices and texture. Very Jayer like in its high toned red fruits. Awesome bottle.
Drank this along side the 1991 La Tache. For me, the La Tache was the winner but both were exceptional bottles. I felt the Cros Prarantoux was fully mature and the La Tache was just entering it's drinking window. The Parantoux was earthier and had a little less spice.
Haunting nose, of dried rose petals and spice. onthe black fruit side, but vibrant. good length. This bottle hold very well over three hours. Plenty of life left.

leftover from friend's lunch tasting. great structure with good acidity and tanning. very powerful. Pronounced flavour intensity.
