Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Truly excellent, with not a trace of the overgenerous toastiness seen in the otherwise remarkable 1989: solid color, perfectly judged extraction of smooth, velvety tannins, lavish fruit steeped in prunes and violets. All that, plus the fabulous, inimitable silkiness for which this cru is famous. Devotees will snap up every bottle. 18
