  Fine Wines SG - Bordeaux 90s Dinner - Left vs Right (Fine Wines SG): Quite a punch of red earth, with black cherry and blackberry, and it does have a slight smoke on cured meats towards the backpalate

  Still quite young; I would give it at least five more years. If drinking today, provide for three-plus hours of air. Rich, thick and very tannic. Prepare for tar, dark and red fruit, leather, tobacco, menthol. Chewy as hell. Structure-plus. Good, and should get better. Needs to mellow.

  90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and inevitably the Merlot dominates. Personally I think this needs more time - 5 years at least to become an interesting rather than a fruity and rather monolithic wine at present. Granted I like mature claret, but this has far more to deliver. 88 for now.
