Closed nose. Red fruits on the palate. Medium bodied. Smooth but still a little tannic. No much improvement with time. A little bit disappointed even on such weak vintage.

Wahrscheinlich schon überlagerter St. Julien aus einem mäßigen Jahrgang. Dafür noch erstaunlich gut , nach ca. 30min verhalten fruchtige Nase, erdig. Weich und sehr rund am Gaumen, fast schon samtig. Eindimensionale, eingekochte rote Frucht, perfektes Holz und vollständig integrierte Tannine. Noch sehr lebendige Säure die nach einiger Zeit den Wein unangenehm dominiert. Definitiv über dem Zenit.

Classic, oak and fruit, crisp Cabernet, harmonious; on the palate light, dry but smooth, well-balanced, elegant and lively, juicy, tannins, firmer than the 1980; good length, complete.

Surprisingly red. Nutty. Roasted nuts. Marshmallows. Much better than expected for a relatively weak vintage!
Drank with Steve, Graeme and Ali in HK
