Score 87/100 · Drink 2003-2010, Robert Parker, Jan 2003
Close to full maturity, this effort is more sinewy and austere than most Bon Pasteurs but has a complex nose of cola, herbs, coffee, and sweet kirsch liqueur. The wine is medium-bodied, slightly edgy, with some dry tannins noticeable in the finish. I expect this wine is not going to get any better, although it certainly has the structure to last for at least another decade. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 6/02.
