Lovely, mature Bordeaux nose of leather, cherries, red fruit, underwood, and smoke. Perfectly balanced with similar notes on the palate and a long finish. Very elegant and pretty wine, what a nice experience!

Balanced but somewhat subdued. Dark fruit beginning to dry, some tannins remain on the finish, and notable dark soil tones. Moderate length and intensity finish. Good on balance, but overall restrained.

Sous bois, truffle, molded blackberry, cigar box; molded fruit becoming more dominant on nose as time progresses; a little thin but still with considerable depth and presence; poised, balanced, structured, long, lingering, engaging, defined; only a faint outline of fruit remaining, but with a purity and nobility of character; though fading, it is still strangely enticing; a beautiful decrepitude; lovely

Dark and deep with a textured palate. Quite a success for the vintage. 93-94
