Description

A diamond in the rough as far as vintages go, aside from 90, 95 and 96, most of the 90s vintages didn’t show all that well. But this Grand Cru Classé was one of the wines of the night!

Clear deep ruby in color with medium plus intensity and notes of blackberry, soil, black currant, black currant leaf, coffee, forest floor, cedar box, and black raspberry.

This wine is dry with high alcohol, high tannins, high acid, full body and a medium plus finish.

93/100
