For a first-growth, this is an unqualified failure. It’s hard to know what went wrong, but after numerous tastings it is clear that this is a superficial, light Mouton that is already revealing some pink around the edge. Fresh menthol-infused red and black fruit notes are present, but the wine is medium-bodied and dry with an angular, austere finish.

This is slightly vegetal now, with some berry and herbal character. Not very impressive. '89/'90 Bordeaux non-blind horizontal. Drink now. 25,000 cases made.

Not the most glorious 1990. Leathery, balsam notes on the nose and not nearly as rich and velvety as many of its peers in this super-ripe vintage. The acidity is becoming prominent and there is a lack of real concentration. With time in the glass it opened out to a certain lusciousness but then finished rather dry, even a little astringent.
