Score 75/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1978 is fully mature, and given this wine's inclination to behave like a burgundy and die quickly, it is best drunk up. Light ruby with some browning, this round, soft, fruity wine is one-dimensional and light, but cleanly made. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 2/84.
