(05-1999) Not as big as I remember, but delicious. An aromatic '89 of rose petal, berry character. Medium-bodied, with medium-chewy tannins and a medium finish.
(04-1991) Ruby red color. Medium intensity. Brilliant. Clean nose of medium intensity. Fruity. When shaken, clean, intense, fruity and quite fine. Soft attack developing on a tender and very peppery structure. Slow evolution on fat and rather supple tannins. Very long aromatic persistence where comes complexity and nuance.
(05-2013) Colour somewhat evolved. Melted tannins. Pleasant to drink today. The serving temperature is important. This wine should not be at room temperature, but a bit colder.
