"Delivers fabulous aromas of crushed red fruits, with leather, tar, tobacco and mint. Full-bodied, offering supersoft and silky tannins, as well as a beautiful polish. Open and luscious, with amazing richness of fruit and decadence at the same time. -- '89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 44,000 cases made."

"Exceedingly well-made and classy, with very focused blackberry and cedar flavors and a compact fruit and tannin structure. Best after 1997. (JS)"
