Tasting notes
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
