Old school...in all regards. Among the finest quality Left Bank offerings of this vintage, bar none, including Classed Growths.
Blackcurrant, with blackberry top notes, pyrazines, gravel, black earth, and mineral ores, on the bouquet and palate.
Nothing overdone or excessive. Balanced extraction, oak treatment, and alcohol. Tremendous acid and tannic structure, bracing precision. High quality finish.
An overachiever...by any measure. Place it a blind flight of Classed Growths and watch it turn heads. This bottle packed the substance to evolve through 2040...and beyond. Improvement seems possible. Ridiculous QPR! 93-94.

Juicy black fruits, tobacco, chocolate. Medium bodied and medium tannin. Needed to breathe for at least 2 hours before opening up.

Near ripe black fruit with soft tannin. Juicy, lush and well balanced. Liquorice and tobacco on the nose. A good cru bourgeois for meals.

Soft, bright, juicy fruits with hints of oak and thyme on the nose bring you to a medium-bodied, crisp, red berry oriented finish.
