"First tasted at the Arches when the lovely Ivana offered a glass in July 2002. Rounded herbal, minerally plummy nose. Very good depth. Palate more concentrated than 1993. Again quite herbal, good fruit concentration with notes of plums and mocha. Quite an exuberant wine which outclassed the 1993. Very enjoyable Petrus and perhaps under-estimated by some people. Tasted again in March 2004 from the splendid imperial: the nose is muted at first but evolves with aeration. There is lovely sweetness amongst the plummy aromas. The palate has good concentration for a 1992, still backward with notes of roasted herbs and burnt toast. Good depth. Raisin, espresso finish. Good length. Very fine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
A tiny, prestigious Right Bank appellation famed for opulent, velvety Merlot-based wines. Iron-rich clay soils yield some of the world's most coveted and concentrated reds.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
