Score 81/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1986 displays more tannin than is usual, but the overall impression is one of lightness and delicate, understated fruit and light to medium body. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/90.

Rich, ripe and generous, with firm tannins, opulent cassis and black cherry fruit, toasty overtones and a polished finish. Impressive now for its concentration and depth, it can only grow more complex and elegant with age. Drink now.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1990
