The condition was spot on given the age. Nose was full of green veg, sour cherry and cranberry. Body was smooth, with continued green pepper notes and more sour fruit. Nothing ground breaking, but technically drinking well given age and a nice basis for judging aged chinon.

Lighter than the '89 Bourguiel in colour; bricking at the rim with a fair bit of sediment in the glass. Not quite as enjoyable; red fruit, green pepper and herbal notes here with some strange slightly sweet tomato paste elements that make this a little awkward.

Ditto my last review, a hint more mushroom and truffle, can't beat well aged cab franc.
