Score 87/100 · Drink 1996-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

This fully mature wine needs to be consumed over the near term. The color is a dark garnet with considerable amber and orange at the edge. The wine possesses an enticing, expressive, herb, jammy fruit, earth, and vanillin-scented nose. Some rustic tannin is noticeable on the palate, but this fleshy, soft, low acid wine is fully mature, so readers should capture its intensity of fruit before it begins to fade, revealing more tannin, acidity, and alcohol. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted 6/96
