Tasting notes
One of the bright, shining stars of Bordeaux's right bank appellation of St.-Emilion, this impeccably run estate has produced an atypically rich, concentrated, delicious 1992. Very dark ruby, with a spicy, toasty, blackcurrant-scented bouquet, ripe, medium to full-bodied flavors, and excellent richness, this fine 1992 should spark considerable consumer interest. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
