Tasting notes
In 10 years' time, this wine will probably not rival Petrus, but for the next 5-6 years, there is no doubt that it is a more supple, more richly fruity, concentrated wine. In fact, this is one of the better examples from this chateau in recent years. Displaying a surprisingly dark ruby/purple color, plenty of rich, ripe, plummy fruit, and a lush, alcoholic finish, it should be drunk young. A sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 11/90.
