Score 18/20 · Drink 1985-2005, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2005

From The Purple Notebook – Dinner in South London. Deep fox red with lots of evolution at the rim. Light and sweet and fresh. Slightly simple. Ready. Slightly dank flavours but awfully impressive for its age. (JR)

Score 83/100 · Robert Parker, Jan 2003

The 1972 was beginning to crack up and fade. This was gorgeous during its first 12-15 years of life, but it has been in decline since. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
