Score 18/20 · Drink 1965-2000, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2007
Bright crimson. Lots of acid and pretty light bodied. Very, very lightweight and a little weedy but there is some richness in what is left of the fruit core. This was clearly a very successful vintage and must have been a good drink at its peak. Could be great if tasted in isolation but it rather suffered in contrast to the Mouton 1949 served alongside.

The 1949 was good, but far from profound. Jan 1998, www.robertparker.com
