9/10 - Many years of cellaring life left in this delightful left-bank Bordeaux. Healthy tannins - pronounced blue and blackberry notes-deliciously elegant. Would love to try the 1995 vintage again in 5-10 years.

We drank this last night at A16. Smooth layers of dark fruit (cherry, plum, blackberry) and oak characteristics grew stronger as the wine opened up. Distinct earthiness with aromas of dry forest floor. Firm tannins. Savored every sip! Thank you AJR.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
More complex and powerful nose with blueberry and blackberry aromas, earth, dry dusty aromas with tar, smoke, and sour mash in the nose; a more complex wine than the ’98, the wine is also quite drier with the flavors of the fruit engaged through a grainy filter of dry tannins and earth; the wine seems to be in one of its closed periods, as I think that there is more depth and complexity in this wine than is apparent at this time; good solid finish with lots of balanced acidity and earthy, somewhat coarse flavors. (17.5/20)
