Wine Advocate 78 / 100 byRobert Parkerthe9/1/1998 The 1986 is one-dimensional and lacks grip and depth. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/90.
Wine Spectator 80 / 100 the6/30/1989 Tough and leathery with a pronounced shoe polish aroma; on the palate it's less leathery, but the wood and tannins totally dominate cedar and plum fla vors. A style that will not appeal to everyone.
