Toujours aussi grandiose... voluptueux, ondoyant et très présent en bouche, fruits rouges et noirs, épices, cèdre, tabac, truffe, chocolat, pur elixir de joie vivante, résurrectionnelle. Merveille.

Believe it or not:This wine in very, very sound.The watery rim is a sign of maturity, not of old age. Haut Marbuzet 81 is not a delicay and probably never has been it, but nevertheless it is a very satisfying wine. 90 points because of the faultless of this 30 years old Saint-Estephe which probably has along way to go until it is tired

Soy, woody, sappy, slightly oaky (vestigal), tobacco nose, older oaky, somewhat exotic CS in mouth. A nice, full, integrated, balanced wine. Actually drinking well and not seeming over the hill. Preferred this to the '83 of a few weeks back. Stayed solid for the hour or so it took to polish off.

33 ans, toujours la jupe fendue, une merveille. Je n'ai jamais été déçu par ce château, et ce n'est pas ce soir que ça commencera...
