88 pts – Wine Advocate
Dark ruby, with an intense bouquet of overripe cassis, this chewy, well-endowed, full-bodied wine is reminiscent of the excellent 1970. Opulent as well as tannic, it may justify an outstanding rating in a decade. Anticipated maturity: Now-2015. Last tasted, 4/91.- Robert Parker Jr. (01/1998)
90 pts – Wine Spectator
A big, very ripe, overdone wine–but a delicious one. Seriously good dark-ruby color. Lots of raspberry and prune character on the nose. Full-bodied, with flavors verging on dried raisin, and toast and jam character on the aftertaste.–1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2000. — JS (05/1999)
