12.5% alkohol. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon og 28% Merlot. Jordmonn med dyp grus i Pauillac. Gjæring i ståltanker og 18 mnd. lagring på fransk eik (50% ny eik). Trenger litt luft før den åpner seg og støvet blåser vekk. Åpner med tydelige, deilige og slitte tobakk- og lærtoner med vått cedartre. Fortsatt moden, rød og mørk frukt med plommer og solbær. Spiss grafitt i finish. Tanniner som er behagelig nedslipt, og fortsatt litt friskhet. Kompleks og elegant, men faller litt gjennom på smaken som begynner å bli litt tynn.

Dark red showing no evolution, nose on red fruits, smooth on the palate, no so persistent, seems to be younger (2008/9), no improvment to come, good to pick it up now

Very pleasant mature berry nose and and really healthy deep colour red and yet the taste is disappointing from one of my favourite vintages. the nose and colour don't suggest it is too old but the fruit is far too skinny. Also this flavour is consistent from decant to last glass so again I don't think it is falling apart but was probably never there in the first place. Certainly no chance of improvement.

Nose: some deep cheese note comes out strong but finishes sweet. Good complexity Taste: red fruits come fast but finish a bit in a plump bone taste which is not my forte. Would not pay the 60 pounds asked for

Much brighter than the 1986.
Notes of blackcurrant, tobacco, cedar, spice, cinnamon, pepper, juicy fruit.
Good, nothing spectacular though..
