    This was the first vintage of Crox Parantoux and it was love at first sight. It cost just a bit more than Sassicaia at the time, when I acquired a case with my modest earning as a working student. Today, there is no way I could afford this.

    The color is oddly less faint than the 1982 and the wine seem even more lively, even if are aromas are more evolved, dominated by porcini mushroom and humus. The bouquet also has notes of leather, black truffle and juniper berries. The mouthfeel has a finesse that is beyond belief, with tannins almost nonexistent and replaced by an almost impalpable silk caress. A totally moving wine that I would personally rate 100/100. For Henri Jayer this was the first yet best version of the wine masterpiece.

    International evaluations put the price at around 15,000 euros but fear not, the wine has sat for decades.
