Wine Spectator

(5-1988)
Elegant and spicy with a lean, hard framework. The ripe plum and spice flav ors are wrapped in firm, drying tannins.

4 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(5-2000)
In April 1987 its sweetness and extract masked the tannin, and a couple of years later it had all the component parts. By now fully mature in appearance, nose and taste. Lovely, soft, ready, but showing its age.
