An average, forgotten vintage that had the misfortune to come before the three-year 1988-89-90 run that was rightfully historic. The vintage will be remembered not for having produced great wines but delicate ones that have a basic freshness that was never cutting. And this wine is still around to show this with its light, garnet color and orange edge. The bouquet is not focused and opens with notes of leather, fresh figs, damp wood, rainwater and tilled earth on a background of red apple juice. The light mouthfeel has a citrusy and mushroom attack with a distinct note of red apple on the palate, compact tannins and a fresh finish with sensations of red apple, cola and cardamom. The way the wine breathes is admirable. A wine one can still drink with joy and that is in no way demanding at the table.
