A wonderful, old style Bordeaux at its peak. Charming nose with sweet notes of mature cherries and raspberries, tobacco and cedar. Medium bodied, with expressive ripe fruit and phenolic notes, cedar, tobacco, chocolate and exotic spice. Improved against last bottle about 5 years ago, but consider finishing up now.

Excellent bottle, the usual cedar and cool black fruit notes, some firm but resolved tannins. Took a bit to open up but was easy to finish. Paled a little in comparison to its younger 1990 sibling, which showed even better with more opulence.

United Cellars Bordeaux dinner (The Gidley, King Street, Sydney): Medium minus intensity aromas of blackcurrant, plums, chalky minerality, savoury, leather, earthy, sweet spice, a little pyrazines, earth, autumn leaves, umami notes, touch of bacon fat. Medium plus intensity acidity, chalky textured tannins, savoury, black fruits, fresh, a little velvety quality on the finish, very nice indeed.

Firm, with a stern edge, a bit of green in the tannins, and a crunchy red berry, peppery, herbal, cedar, and cigar-packed palate, this is a wine from a throwback from a different era that some tasters will like more than I did. Drink from 2022-2032.
