Still incredibly youthful. Exhibits fabulous aromas of fresh fruit, minerals and chocolate with a hint of spice. Full-bodied and concentrated, with loads of fruit and tannins... Wine Spectator

Perhaps just past peak but plenty of pleasure to be had. Into its 4th hour lots of smoky/meaty nuance emerged.

Supreme aromatics, jumping from the glass with might. Strong!

At peak, starting to thin out a touch since last tasted 4 years ago. Drink up.

Stunning! Heaven on the palate. Sweet cherries, blackberries, rhubarb, sweet leather, tobacco leaf, earthy in the way you dream about. So resolved and integrated. It still shinning after 30 years. The one thing I love about 80's Bordeaux is the lower alcohol level. You simply do no need to be in the 14-15% range.
