As traditional as the modern style can be. Distinct restraint and finesse at all phases. Highly appealing range and depth. Medium plus acid and medium tannin frame the terroir-driven substance beautifully. Balanced extraction, oak treatment, and alcohol. Lingering finish. This bottle had at least five to seven years of evolution ahead. 93-94.
More complete and satisfying than the same vintage Prieuré-Lichine.

Double decanted, but minimal sediment noted.
Was open for business right away. Deep red color and full bodied, showing rich dark fruit, some earth and baking spices, with a medium long finish. Very nice, and a much better showing than my previous bottle in 2021.

Much thicker in profile, ripe red fruit, much fresher than either 2011 or 2012 and not because its 2 years younger, blue fruit notes as well, there is a nice stalky freshness too.
Richer than 2011 and 2012 in palate, dry red fruit, earthier and spicier than expected, the tannins have an edge in them, med body, crunchy med finish
