Score 88/100 · Drink 1995-2006, Robert Parker, Jan 1997
A strict selection process resulted in a deeply colored wine with a forward, precocious bouquet of smoked meat, ripe plums, and cassis. The wine is rich and soft, as well as full-bodied and long. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. Last tasted 11/95.
