Starting with the 1988 vintage, Citran has established itself as one of the stars among the Medoc Crus Bourgeois. Dark ruby/purple, with a smoky, roasted bouquet of cassis and lavish amounts of new oak, this cunningly made, ripe, overtly commercial wine will prove to be a crowd-pleaser because of its direct, forward, plump character. Anticipated maturity: Now-1996.
