Tasting notes
Fully mature, this dark garnet-colored wine shows plenty of amber at the edge. The nose exhibits moderately intense black currant intermixed with cedar, spice box, and some Provencal herb notes. The wine is soft, medium-bodied, very seductive, but needs to be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 11/02.

Elegant and refined with cedar, plum, spice and tobacco flavors hung on a fleshy framework. Finishes with good length. – Wine Spectator 1988
The 1985, with a deep ruby color and a complex bouquet of spicy oak and ripe currants, offers extremely well-balanced and well-delineated flavors, medium body, excellent depth, and firm, but soft tannins. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 3/90.Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1
