I don't know why so many people hate this wine. I get that it is not the most concentrated of all bordeaux but still, it has nice density and a certain richness. With some air it opens up nicely...

Quartet unplanned evening invited and hosted by Yoram (Rokah-Yam at Jaffa Port): colour: dark transparent red-brown-black nose: elegant ripe fruity tertiary aromas with leather, vanilla-oak and old furniture notes palate: med bodied, fully integrated tannins, good acidity, good harmony, low fruitiness, med complexity, dry, lacks structure, clearly a close-to-great wine which is somewhat over the peak, but still enjoyable, mainly by sniffing, not so much on the palate; long after taste.

Red cherry note, spices on the palate. Tannin mellowed. Middle finish.

1990 Bordeaux quartet round #1 meeting #3 (at Yoram Solberg): Light red color
Tertiary aromas of leather, old ripe cherries, vanilla, oak, spices
Elegant, medium bodied, tannic, bitter, no fruit, balanced. Long after taste.
