Score 89/100 · Drink 1996-2006, Robert Parker, Jan 1997
The 1983 reveals a deep garnet color, a smoky, sweet, jammy, black-cherry, and herb-scented nose, and ripe, medium- to full-bodied flavors that still exhibit copious amounts of fruit, glycerin, and extract. Some firm tannin is noticeable in the finish. The 1983 is fully mature, yet capable of holding for another 8-10 years. Last tasted 8/96.
