Score 18/20 · Drink 1988-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2013

Thick and sweet – duller, simpler and more earthbound than the Monte Bellos on the nose but with great concentration. Impressive. Still some vigour here. Bought from Reid Wines in the UK. Bernard Portet was presumably pretty impressed and denoted it Reserve. (JR)
