Mature ruby, with hints of Sienna. Earthy bouquet of wet leaves and Band-Aid is laced with ripe, mixed berries and plums. This is on the downhill side of its peak but it's still holding together. The earthy, spice driven palate shows a delineation of flavor, typicity, and vibrant acidity. Light, juicy, balanced, and very stylish. Delicious.

Je vous le dis tout de suite, un gros wow pour moi.
La robe est encore très foncée et dense. Au nez, c'est très complexe, sur les fruits rouges, les mûres, cassis, violettes, cuir, légères touches de moka, graphite, etc. En bouche, c'est surprenant comme c'est encore très structuré, solide, la complexité du nez s'y retrouve parfaitement. La bouche, est riche, d'une texture qui me fait saliver et la finale est onctueuse et est très longue. Reste encore de la matière pour vivre quelques années. Je n'aurais pas peur de le garder 5 ans encore même s'il semble être à son apogée! Une très belle bouteille. 95-96.

Tasted double blind as part of a ’92 vs ’97 vintage challenge. This wine finished in last place in group voting. Nice maroon red color, with slight bricking on the rims. A savory and spicy bouquet, with wild strawberries and smoky bacon in the foreground. Brambly fruit on the palate. High acidity and a bit thin. Decent length. Consensus was that this wine is past its prime. It was really delicious about 4 years ago. Drink up.
