Professional reviews

Robert Parker (87)

The 1987, one of the most backward and full-bodied wines of the vintage, with a tremendous amount of tannic clout, yet excellent underlying power and body, remains closed. It is medium to full-bodied, with a reticent bouquet of vanillin, herbs, and sweet black fruit, and a long, firm finish. If you are a millionaire who wants to buy wine for a child born in 1987, this wine will still be in reasonable condition by the time he or she turns twenty-one

Winespectator (87)

Elegant and silky, with lively one-dimensional tobacco and black olive aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with round tannins and forward flavors. Very drinkable now
