Score 17/20 · Drink 1992-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2013
From an unlabelled bottle belonging to HK wine merchant Paulo Pong and stored in Corsham. Sweet, spicy and fully mature but a bit muddy by now. Past its best. No refreshment left. (JR)

This has always been a disappointing wine considering the greatness of this vintage. It reveals a medium garnet color, a dusty, herbal, animal-scented nose, medium body, some sweet fruit, and a lean, attenuated style. It seems to be drying out. Drink it up. Last tasted 10/94.
