A complex nose of subtle menthol intermixed with black currants, cherries, spice box, cedar, and herbs emerges from this fully mature 1990. It is a fleshy, round, generously endowed Margaux with silky tannins, low acidity, and beautiful purity. Drink it with great pleasure now, or cellar it for another decade... Robert Parker

Spectacular from the get-go, supple and lithe. Sandalwood, light maraschino cherry. Drink up, this started to break down after 10-15 mins in glass.

Beautiful & elegant styled claret that has red & blackberry fruits, cassis, leather, tobacco & violet. This was purchased on release & should drink well for another 10 years
