Score 75/100 · Drink 1988, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Surprisingly light and precociously fruity, with little grip or backbone, this medium-bodied, moderately fruity wine has charm and a savory, easygoing character, but tastes a bit watery. It requires drinking. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/88.
