Wine Spectator

(04-1995)
Lush and viscous, very sweet, showing ripe tropical fruit and lemon flavors and a burning sensation on the finish that reflects good concentration.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(04-1995)
This was one of the few wines where the 1989 was the superior offering. The richest, sweetest, and fattest of the 1988, 1989 and 1990 vintages, it offers a pure nose of pineapples, full body, and excellent concentration.
