Lovely fruit. A tiny hint of band that may be holding this back a touch. A foot of animal and deep gravely fruit. Slick and intense. Very good.

Soft plummy fruit. Settled with age. Some floral stuff with a garrigue undertow. Lovely and drinking great right now

A hit of band aid, pure plum fruit, very pure blue fruit. Gorgeously resolved, soft, pretty.

Earthy mineral driven and muscular quite the opposite of the 1985 , but has years of life ahead of it .

Tasted blind. Dark ruby and almost opaque. Fragrant nose. Notes of cherries, rhubarb, herbs and tobacco, some earth and some menthol. Pure and refined. Gorgeous. Guessed 1989 La Mish.

Outstanding, so beautifully balanced, there is a ripeness of fruit, in a great way considering the age, all round an excellent example of St.-Émilion.
