The nose was lovely upon opening with lots of fruits. But You can't help but feel this is challenged by the vintage. The palate was quite green and unbalanced.
Drank for G birthday.

Decanted for an hour and a half. Not a particularly pleasant nose which wasn't a promising start. Barnyard wouldn't go away. However, a decent clean wine on the palate which came together quite well. Very little bricking which was a bit of a surprise. Decent, but not memorable.

Weekly tasting group RWP #241: DJ's birthday, so a complete surprise. (@ DJ): Beautiful and mature bouquet with good oak cedar and tobacco. On the palate good acidity, chocolate, red berries, chocolate, good acidity and tannin with still a pleasant bite. Overall a beautiful and mature wine. Perfectly ready now. No extreme hurry, but don’t wait much longer.

Meilleure que la précédente (voir note précédente) , très vif, couleur d'une étonnante jeunesse, robe grasse, larmes lentes, sirupeuses... Nez de cèdre, violette, sous-bois (légère), touche de fumée, copeaux de bois. Longueur moyenne, tannins encore présents. Un hit reconfirmé pour ce '93; il y à de quoi lever son chapeau. Bravo ! À boire d'ici 2017. 89.

Belle surprise ! Couleur grenat, aucune trace d'oxydation, une parfaite conservation en caisse n'a pas dû nuire. Arômes de violette, de tomates cerises congites, de parmesan, un peu de sirop pour la toux (!). Margaux dans texture; superbement soyeuse. Un vin impressionnant issu d'un millésime désastreux. Je suis bien content d'avoir acheté une caisse de ce vin ! 88
