Score 81/100 · Drink 1993-1998, Robert Parker, Feb 1993
The 1988 exhibits some greenness to its tannins, is medium-bodied, spicy, offers some curranty fruit, and finishes abruptly. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-1998.

Score 88/100 · Wine Spectator
Warm and supple, with generous plum, currant, spice and cedar flavors that are sharply focused, picking up hints of vanilla and tobacco. The tannins are very dry. Hold until 1996 to 2000. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1991.
