The drive power and poise of Bordeaux blending at its best. A glorious seamless meld of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon with 36% Merlot brings power and toned muscle to the big rich body that fills out a plush mid-palate with all the elements comfortably integrated and striking perfect balance between vivacious energy and a luxurious texture. Gorgeous drinking right now. - David Sly April 2024

Medium garnet-brick colour. Earthy Provence herb seasoned aromas of warm cassis and stewed plum with nuances of smoked duck cracked black pepper and dark soy. The palate leads with structure ? medium to high finely grained tannins and medium to high acid. Plenty of complex fruit to flesh out the mid-palate with a long layered finish. Drink now ? 2030+. Tasted February 2009. Reviewed by: Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"Very serious fruit with juicy berry tobacco and cedar character. Slightly more body than the 1989 but they are very close in character. I would give this a little more time. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. "
