This is a full bodied extracted St Emilion with opaque dark purple colour. The flavours are all about ripe fruit and richness. A bit of freshness in its character would be a big improvement. asianpalate.com

La Dominique sports an earthy, mineral, plum, licorice and blackberry nose. The soft, medium bodied wine finishes with a cassis and cherry finish.winecellarinsider.com

This is super powerful, with amazing density and richness. Goes on for minutes. Full, yet reserved and focused. Best ever. jamessuckling.com

Score 17/20 · Decanter

You have to go back to 1989 to find a vintage as fine as this. Elegant, lifted, crushed berry fruit aroma and flavour. Ripe, precise tannins. Long, fresh, persistent finish. Drink 2018-2035. James Lawther, decanter.com
