Avis d'expert

92 / 100

Wine Spectator

(5-1999)
A delicious, well-structured Bordeaux, with plenty of ripe fruit, beautiful berry, green tobacco and cherry character. Full-bodied, adding velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(2-1997)
In most tastings of the 1989 and 1990 vintages I have had a strong preference for the 1990, but in this tasting the 1989 provided the most charming drinking with its soft, voluptuous texture, big, spicy, cedary nose, sweet, expansive fruit, medium body, and excellent richness and purity. The wine reveals no amber at the edge, but it tastes surprisingly evolved and already delicious.

A somewhat fleshier and riper wine than usual, with extra dimensions, body, fruit, texture, length of course.
