Score 91/100 · Drink 1997, Robert Parker, Aug 1994

Last Tasted 5/94 Although tight and unyielding, this wine offers a healthy dark ruby/purple color, as well as subtle herbs and cassis in the bouquet. This powerful, muscular Cabernet has impressive body, weight, and fruit extraction, but the tannin is hard. It appears to have gone into a shell and is in need of 3-5 years of cellaring. I found it to be less impressive than in previous tastings.
