From half bottle this was remarkably fresh. It has some leather and tar along with sweet cedar and brown spice. It still has some dark fruits in the mouth as well as a bit of tobacco. It is full and satisfying with structural elements that are still supportive and good length. An excellent drink.

Color is surprisingly youthful for a wine this age. Nose is pleasant showing bright red fruits and plenty of old bordeaux funk. Following the 1988 Clinet this is not terribly impressive but considering the low expectations we had the wine showed very well.

Pas une grosse matière mais un vin convaincant, tout en délicatesse, avec une belle aromatique évoluée (cèdre, pointe de fruits rouges, cuir).
Une heureuse surprise compte tenu de la petite réputation du millésime sur la rive gauche !
