93 Points

Friday, November 20, 2020 - Made from Cabernet Sauvignon (69 %), Merlot (22 %), Cabernet Franc (8 %).

Colour: Brownish w. orange hue.

Bouquet: Developed but still pure. Blackcurrant was predominant w. tobacco, liquorice, compost, prunes, herbs and malty sweetness like a heavy stout.

Palate: Dry, med- tannins, med acid and med+ body wchich shouln't be mistaken for heavy but rather elegant and dancing on the palate. The tannins are rounded and refined and overall making the wine silky soft, persistent and beautifully matured.

33 years old and still both fresh and fruity. A wonderful example of just how well Bordeaux last.
