Score 89/100 · Robert Parker

Dark ruby/garnet-colored, with a sweet, spicy, oaky, black fruit-scented nose, this well-structured, moderately tannic, medium-bodied wine exhibits an excellent underpinning of fruit, extract, and glycerin, but it needs 5-6 years of cellaring. At present, it is somewhat austere and backward. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2014. Feb 1997, www.robertparker.com
