Wine Spectator

(2-1991)
Medium ruby and garnet. Tight, dried tea-leaf nose. Spicy, concentrated, mature fruit, with cassis and macaroon flavors; very elegant.

17.5/20

Jancis Robinson

(10-2017) Dense blackish ruby with a yellow rim. Wonderfully savoury and composed on both nose and palate. Still quite enough fruit – though far from a modern monster. great balsam undertow with fruit still trumping acidity and tannins long forgotten. Such impressive length. Traditional claret incarnate. Fresh as a daisy.
