  Nose: Perfumed blackberry and tobacco right away. Layers of cracked pepper, sage and florals. Palate: Starts with a nice dark fruit, reserve of power, silky tannin and florals. Sweet red and black fruit, some cedar and herb notes. Finish: Moderate finish, just lacking the length in the 95 and 96 now.
  
  The 91 has always been a great wine, and this bottle lived up to expectations. Great freshness, and shows the transition from the 80's to bolder flavors in the 90s.

  Nose: Outstanding perfume of blackberry, cassis, lilac, sage, gravel and creosote. Layered nose with just a touch of brett that adds an elegant rusticity. Palate: Elegant, detailed and nuanced. Black fruit, layers of flowers, cedar, spice and sweet oak. Density on the palate that has depth and nuance.
  
  Beautiful mature wine and showing with the best of the vintage. 94+
