Ratings & Tasting Notes

A bit musty on opening but it came around. To me, shows the density and heaviness of the ‘86 vintage without the elevated nuance of more balanced years. Shows the cab influence with mint/eucalyptus notes mixed with cedar and tobacco. Just couldn’t shake a sullen personality on the nose and palate. Chalky tannins are mostly integrated. Moderate finish. Probably best to drink as hard to see this getting better—but can’t exclude developing some aromatic lift in the future.

Certain austerity and Medoc-like firmness has always fooled me with this wine in blind tastings. The color remains a very healthy deep ruby, and the nose of black currants, cherries, spice box, cedar, and mineral clearly seems more Medooc-like than Pomerol. In the mouth, its firm tannin is still present. The wine has a certain youthful vibrancy because of good acidity and outstanding purity. It is a young, still somewhat unformed, but very promising wine on the way up.
