"Served blind by Jean-Hubert Delon at the chateau, the 1993 maintains is deep garnet core. The nose has really blossomed since last taste with blackberry, minerals, limestons, a hint of liquorices and a sweetness that I noted as “burnt honey”. Full-bodied on the palate with surprisingly sinewy tannins, excellent ripeness with an undertow of Morello cherry and a hint of tar on the very structured, very Saint Julien finish. Lot of typicity here. Bon vin!"

"Again so young, almost not ready to drink but if you are patient things open up and start to sing. The tannic structure on this wine is just so impressive, still doing a good job of cradling blackberry and cassis fruits. It's a little less welcoming than the 1982. Harvest September 28 to October 18 (they began here one day before they finished up the 1982, and the yields were even bigger). More Cabernet in the blend than in 1982 because this was such a late ripening year that suited this variety. Petit Verdot 5% finishes blend."
