91 WS "Always beautiful, this full-bodied '88 shows terrific fruit character and racy, silky tannins that are wonderfully knit together." 90 RP "It is dark ruby, with an unevolved but generous bouquet of smoky new oak, cassis, and flowers. This fleshy, generously-endowed, medium-bodied wine is the finest effort from this property since their 1983."
