Dark red, with an amber edge. Aromas of chocolate, stewed berries, Merlot and raisins. Full-bodied, velvety and rich. Lovely palate. Delicious now, but will hold on. An autumnal wine.--Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001

The 1986 displays a monolithic character in its tea, herb, and dusty berry aromas. Dense and powerful with considerable tannin, this is an admirably concentrated, medium to full-bodied wine. Anticipated maturity: 1998-2010. Last tasted, 5/93. Aug 1993, www.robertparker.com
