Score 78/100 · Robert Parker, Aug 1996

An advanced plum-like color with amber notes suggests full maturity. Moldy, melted road tar scents indicate maderization. This out of balance, extremely tannic, tart, acidic, high strung wine is on a headfirst plunge into senility. The tasting notes for this section are from two single blind tastings, one conducted in May, 1996, in California, and the other in June, 1996, in Baltimore.
