(12-1998) From the start, most attractive fruit and flesh. On its tenth birthday, still youthful; fragrant; characteristically lean, but flavoury and refreshing. A good Prieuré and a pleasing 1988.
(04-1991) Tart, focused cherry and currant flavors struggle against a tide of tannin and succeed in making this a generous wine that needs to gain polish with cellaring until 1997 to 2001
