Tasting notes
The 1986 displays a perfume of toasty, smoky, new oak and blackcurrants, has impressive extract, and a wonderful purity of currant fruit that reminded me of the classic Cabernets made by the tiny Napa Valley winery of Spottswoode. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2015. Last tasted, 1/93.

Elegant and refined, offering lots of lovely aromas and flavors of cherry, berry and roasted meat. Full in body and very silky in tannins. Try in 1997.--Canon vertical. – James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1995
