Score 74/100 · Drink 1983, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A straightforward, fruity, rather sweet wine, without much botrytis, but displaying solid, under ripe flavors of peaches and mint. Typically light, and lacking muscle and concentration, the 1979 Rayne-Vigneau should be drunk up. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 6/83.
