I love this wine and think it great . Renowned palettes, tasters, experiences , preferences far far greater than mine tell me that I am wrong. Honest , but misguided, is my assessment they say. I have compared almost all evaluations of this wine and found it to be judged inferior to several famous wines in the same vintage. For me , outside the 1st growths , which I can neither afford , nor scrounge, this is supreme. Why disingenuous ?
Well, because I should be shouting about the beauty of this wine from the rooftops , not meekly advocating " one should have a sip ".........
This is fantastic , cedar laden , pencil rich , beautifully erotic, classic Pauillac , which if you need to look up what that means defeats so many purposes....
Getting a bit better still a bit closed off I would say will open up in a year or 2 , will save my remaining bottles will then. The nose is quite elegant reminding me of Quintessa yet the pallet not there yet.

Disingenuous ; that's how I feel .

Clear red colour. Pepper, cedar and pencil svavings. Balanced and nice wine. Medium length. Still young with some tannins, but really good wine.

Not as stacked and packed as the last couple I had. Maybe it's going through a down phase.

91-92 can still feel that sharpness on the finish. Otherwise very classy.
