Score 91/100 · Drink 1989-2000, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A great vintage for de Fargues, the 1980 from this estate is very powerful, opulent, and exotic. The bouquet of coconuts, apricots, grilled almonds, and spicy oak is sensational. In the mouth, the wine is decadently rich, full bodied, and remarkably similar in taste, texture, and viscosity to d’Yquem. Retasted twice in 1989 with equally enthusiastic notes. Anticipated maturity: Now-2000. Last tasted, 3/89.
