97 WS. "This big, Port-like wine is a blockbuster that betters the '51. Dark brick red with a ruby center, it has intense aromas of blackberry, tobacco and plum and hints of cigar box. Full-bodied and very ripe, with masses of chewy tannins and a long, long ripe fruit finish. Very smooth, thick, and delicious." WineSpectator.com, Feb 2000 |
