Score 78/100 · Robert Parker, Jan 1997

This wine reveals considerable rust and amber at the edge. It possesses an earthy nose with an absence of ripe fruit. The wine remains excruciatingly tannic as well as a bit dried out and desiccated, and without enough fruit, fat, or charm. It should be drunk up. Last tasted 8/96.
