Score 70/100 · Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Jan 1991
The 1971 is another mediocre wine produced during the Ginestet reign. It is best consumed immediately for what little fruit it has remaining. The wine is light ruby and browning badly at the edges. The simple, light, fruity bouquet and diluted flavors are hardly inspirational, and definitely not what one expects from one of Bordeaux's fabulously expensive first-growths.
