Medium body. Tastes of plumb and cassis. Great fronsac. Will buy a few to age — 7 years ago
Still drinking the 89 while storing at temps rainging from 50 to 90 degrees F for the last 22 years. 2 bottles left. Not one bottle in all thes years was less than perfect. I would rate it as a 98.5, but, i am no expert. I have had great assulase, tokaji aszu and chateau d'Yquem but, for the price i paid (20$/bottle), it far exceeds the others. It is now a medium amber color complex fruity tones great finish. I feel sad when the last drop leaves my teast buds. I also have a few of the 90's to us as a comparison. They are a distant second. — 7 years ago

Medium body and spicy. 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% cinsault, 10% carignan. Cassis, blackberry & plume notes. Slightly earthy. Pesant, but not over powering. Goes well with pork. Would not drink with heavy, powerful meats and game. As an amature, I would give it an 88. — 7 years ago
