Still a very robust wine. Not in the least past its prime. There’s a lot of fruit left, but there’s also a lot of oak., even after 26 years. This has dried out the wine a little bit. Don’t make too much out of my criticism. The wine is very enjoyable, so the bottle was finished without any complaints from my friends at the table.

Dark and rich. Spice and cola. Has a solid acid backbone. — 7 years ago
Nothing petit about it. Very bold expression of the ripe vintage, great texture, grip, and a very good bitter almond skin note. — 10 months ago
Really great and different from previous vintages; slightly effervescent and has some nice savory funk to compliment all the fruit. — 6 years ago

Svartpeppar, indisk långpeppar och granskog i näsan. Lång, relativt återhållen och kryddig smak men höga tanniner som gör sig bäst till mat med fett och sälta. Seriös spelare som dock kanske inte gör sig bäst att dricka som sällskapsvin med nuvarande ålder på nacken. — 7 years ago

Pure pleasure, vivacious, juicy, deeply textured and ripe. A completely different experience than LBT — 2 years ago

I decided to revisit a bottle that was the winner of our horizontal tasting of MSD 2016 village (10 producers tasted blind by 10 participants). And once again this is a hit for a village. Lots of complexity, licorice, spices and red fruits... more than satisfactory length for this level of appellation. — 5 years ago
