Score 78/100 · Drink 1988, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Ripe black currant fruit and plenty of spicy vanillin oak dominate the bouquet of this medium-bodied, increasingly attenuated, harder-styled wine. The oak is apparent, and the wine appears to be losing its charm and fruit. It tastes awkward and out of balance. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/88.
