April 18, 1995 - Christie's Pre-Sale Tasting (Amsterdam): Very mature appearance, becoming acidic, past best.

November 30, 1990 - Easy drinking wine without great complexity. For an ordinary Bordeaux it is surprisingly youthful. Drinking it the next 2 years will be no problem. It will not improve.

March 3, 1987 - An easy evening with close friends (@ PdV): Friendly and fruity wine. Some liquorice. Pleasant soft tannin. Not much acidity. Supple. No real complexity, but pleasant easy drinking.

August 2, 1986 - Fair wine. Powerful and fruity. Not ready yet. Wait a few years before opening the next bottle.
