Score 84/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Pontet-Canet's 1987 is a success in this difficult vintage. An attractive spicy, vanillin-scented, and cassis-dominated bouquet is followed by soft, smooth, easy-to-drink flavors. This medium-bodied wine should be drunk up over the near term. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/90.
