Score 72/100 · Drink 1983, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
A rather hollow wine, without adequate fruit to balance out the oak and tannins, the 1981 Canon-La-Gaffeliere should be drunk over the next several years before it becomes more unbalanced. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 2/83.
