The 1986 displays a perfume of toasty, smoky, new oak and blackcurrants, has impressive extract, and a wonderful purity of currant fruit that reminded me of the classic Cabernets made by the tiny Napa Valley winery of Spottswoode. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2015. Last tasted, 1/93.

Elegant and refined, offering lots of lovely aromas and flavors of cherry, berry and roasted meat. Full in body and very silky in tannins. Try in 1997.--Canon vertical. -JS

This wine is still bound up by its high tannin content. It reveals a dark garnet/ruby color with no amber at the edge. The nose primarily offers minerals, earth, and smoke, with black plum and cassis fruit in the background. On the attack, the wine is rich, medium-bodied, and elegant, with lofty tannin in the finish. Although approachable, it remains youthful and vibrant. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015. Last tasted 12/97
