Score 85/100 · Drink 1989-2010, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
The 1986 displays both power and elegance in a medium- to full-bodied format. The color is deep ruby, and on the palate, the wine exhibits classic black currant fruit, with a toasty, spicy oak component. This foursquare, somewhat monolithic wine does not lack tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 9/89.
