A classic rendition of this great wine, the ’91 Clos des Chênes opens in the glass with a complex bouquet of red-black fruit, cocoa nib, grilled game, wood smoke and a touch of pot pourri. On the palate the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a chassis of fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and lovely length and intensity. A wine that is more about complexity and quiet depth than drama or flamboyance

Dull cloudy red. All vinegar and earth. Too bad.

Best showing yet - the oxidation pong was negligible, there was more bite, and there was a marked red fruit quality - lovely, but further to go

Dense, soft textured, deep fruit cake rich fruit - deep is the word, but it's still not fully expressing itself

Extraordinarily concentrated, rich cherry fruit, soft textured, smoky, ripe heady
