It was deeply coloured and still immature; a "classic nose", Cabernet, slightly peppery, good but no development in the glass; dry, crisp fruit, good length, complete but very tannic. On the palate I gave it identical marks to the Margaux and the Haut Brion 1986s.
A powerful, rich wine as good as many cru classés. Inky color and intense vanilla, violet and cassis aromas; full-bodied, with great balance, full but integrated tannins and a long finish.
