Score 85/100 · Drink 1990, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1986 is impressive for its suave, graceful, cherry fruitiness, generous use of toasty new oak, and soft flavors with some ripe tannins in the finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/90.

Lean and spicy, with sharply focused cherry and plum flavors that linger appealingly on the finish, elegant and a bit smoky. Drink now.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1989
