This one was absolutely perfect. Not as in 100 Point perfect but just everything firing on all cylinders.. perfect balance with good concentration and incredible complexity with loads of smoke, minerals, leather, cedar, tobacco, lead pencil. Incredibly complex really well balanced absolutely delicious

Absolutely outstanding and utterly profound. This is actually gotten even better since the last tasting. I still think it is at Peak but obviously not going anywhere quickly. Smokey earthy complex with tons of different flavors. One of my favorite all-time kosher wines and it is an absolute home run. This is the last year that they did non mevushal. This and the 2001 Giscours are probably my two all-time favorites

93-94. Drinking beautifully still. At peak. Doesn't seem to be fading any but I wouldn't push it. Dense dark and concentrated. Loaded with earthy dark fruit. Absolutely delicious. One of my all-time favorite wines

Another absolutely stellar showing. At full peak but going full blast with incredibly concentrated earthy smoky flavors. Not showing signs of fading but I would not push my luck on this one. This vintage is one of my all-time favorite kosher Bordeaux. Bravo!!!

I love it. This wine is absolutely amazing. It has held on to the end of its peak quite well but I would not push it much further. I'm definitely going to save a couple of bottles for when it's 20 years old but will not push it past that. It is absolutely beautiful. Delicious earthy bouquet and flavors. Excellent concentration and good balance. Those who like earthy older mature Bordeaux with complex flavors of this is incredible. This is the last year that it was made not mevushal. If you can find a well-stored version it is a must try.
