Tasting notes
In early tastings, this was certainly not one of the stars of the vintage, but is a good wine, clearly better than many of the below-par efforts from this property in the seventies. Medium dark ruby with a fine bouquet of crushed berry fruit, this is a medium-bodied, elegant, moderately tannic wine. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/89.
