Score 90/100 · Drink 1997-2010, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

This wine continues to develop impressively in the bottle. While not one of the vintage's blockbusters, it possesses all the classic elegance, fragrance, and harmony one expects of a high quality Margaux. The color remains a healthy dark ruby with a purple hue. The nose offers up lush, sweet, jammy black currant fruit intermixed with aromas of white flowers, spice, and a touch of smoky oak. It is medium-bodied, with a savory, expansive mouthfeel. This low acid, rich, multi-layered wine is approachable, yet capable of evolving gracefully. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted 3/97
