Score 81/100 · Drink 1997-2006, Robert Parker, Feb 1997

This dark ruby-colored 1993 reveals the herbal/green pepper character of the vintage. Sweet, ripe fruit is initially attractive on the palate. The wine possesses depth and body, but overall, it comes across as too herbal and angular. Anticipated maturity: now-2006.
