Score 73/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

Unexpectedly light, diffuse, and inadequately concentrated, the 1981 is well below the standard for this excellent estate. It is medium ruby and just too bland without much concentration to it. Drink up! Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 4/84.
