  November 29, 1991 - Fairly light bodied if not thin. There is a lot of soft and mature oak in the bouquet. In the taste there is still some (red) fruit and sweetness. Also a lot of acidity –which is not drying -. There are a lot of nuances. Overall it is very clear this is a classy wine from a bad vintage; you can taste the potential is there, but not this vintage.

  May 1, 1987 - Bordeaux from the 70's (@ Bart; Neighbour PdV): Creamy bouquet; probably from the oak. The tannin is not impressive; too acidic. On the other hand it is sticky. A pleasant but strange wine. A lot of nuances but on the other hand the acidity is too dominating. Don’t know what to think. (This was a blind note. I always score the wines on each separate component, but in the 80’s and part of the 90’s I summarised these notes and threw away the original forms. This score is probably based on the complexity/refinement on one hand and the overdose of acidity on the other.)

  October 10, 1986 - Sparkling red colour. Complex bouquet with a lot of oak. Complex and soft taste with a large amount of acidity. Long aftertaste. A victim of the vintage, but pleasant drinking.
