Score 86/100 · Drink 1990-2005, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The spicy, ripe, mineral and curranty bouquet is followed by a wine with medium body and good grip. Approachable now, and evolving more rapidly than I would have thought possible several years ago, this elegantly wrought wine remains bargain priced for the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 3/90.
