Tasted at Chateau Marquis de Terme. Deep garnet core with a light tawny rim. What a wonderful bouquet! Much more cohesive and youthful than the 1990, decayed mulberry fruit, a touch of clove, chestnut, real warmth emanating from the glass, but more controlled and well defined than the ensuing vintage. The palate does not quite match the bouquet, although it has last well for 20 years. Medium-bodied, lacy tannins that become just a little ragged towards the finish. Leather, fresh tobacco and autumn leaves, slightly attenuated towards the finish. This will obviously not get better, but is perfect to drink now. This is a little gem. Drink now.
