Toasty and concentrated with rich pear, apple, spice and toasty spice flavo rs that explode on the palate. It's tart and vibrant with depth, complexity and a long full flinty finish that says Chablis. —

97
Rich and massively concentrated, with layers of plum, anise, black cherry and tobacco, firm acidity and structure and thick, chewy, balanced tannins. Beautiful, elegant and stylish. One of the greatest Lynch Bages ever made; will improve with five or more years in the cellar. —

Gorgeous fruit, rich, supple, satiny with beautiful structure, amazing intensity and depth, rich cassis, butter, toasty oak and spicy flavors, plenty of tannin, but impeccibly balanced. Distinct and exciting. Drink 1994 to 2000. —

Château Latour Pauillac +
Château Latour
1985
35

97
A majestic wine, a bit hard and lean, with strong, firm tannins and a tight core of ripe cherry, currant and cassis flavors underneath that begin to unfold on the palate. A great concentration of fruit and tannins with a measure of elegance and finesse. All the greatness you expect. —

Château Rieussec Sauternes +
Château Rieussec

Nectar-like if a bit on the sweet side, impressively complex, concentrated and focused. Deep gold, big, sweet and rich, with gobs of concentrated fig, brown sugar, butterscotch and oak flavor. A knockout. —

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
1985

98
Impressive concentration and depth, the kind of intense flavor, firm tannin, grace and harmony that assures a great wine in 10 to12 years. Flavors are so complex and harmonious that it s hard to pick out the individual elements, but you can find plum, vanilla, lilac and nutmeg. —

Tightly focused and concentrated, sending a current of flavor right down th pepper and vanilla, elegant and firm, gaining complexity on the finish. Even at the price, it s a deal. —

Sleek and elegant with an overlay of toasty French oak, layers of spice, currant, cassis and cherry flavors that are very attractive, beautifully balanced, supple tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Best after 1992. —

1982
27

94
Deep, rich, ripe and powerful, with slightly earthy-herbal plum and cherry flavors, big and complex, tannic, with a touch of anise on the finish. Complex and fascinating. It will need a good 5-10 years to shed its tannin, but the concentration is superb. —
1988
A. Rafanelli Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley +
A. Rafanelli
1986

91
Very firm and concentrated and focused, amazingly layered with blackberry, cassis and plum fruit, cedary overtones from spicy oak and a bracing touch of acidity and tannin to wrap it up and keep it from showing everything it has for 2-3 years. —
1988
Pierre Gelin Gevrey-Chambertin +
Pierre Gelin
1985

93
Firm and tannic, with concentrated raspberry, black cherry and red currant fruit, overtones of sweet oak and flowers, a many-faceted wine with mouthwa tering flavors, structure and texture. A lot of Burgundy for the price. —
1988
Torres Penedès White Milmanda +
Torres

35
94
Stunning wine, beautifully balanced, smoothly knit, flavorful and long. It does a great impersonation of a Chevalier-Montrachet, with all the spice, toast and honey around a solid core of pear fruit. Will it age like it? Who knows, but it's pro. —
1988
Louis Jadot Nuits-St.-Georges Clos des Corvées +
Louis Jadot

Big, rich and deep, with incredible balance and concentration of ripe plum- cherry fruit and mahogany wood, velvety texture, sweet toast tea leaf on th e finish. Couldn't ask for better balance or length. —

Castellare di Castellina
1985

96
Loaded with rich, ripe, spicy, plummy fruit, hints of violet and vanilla, beautifully shaped and framed with oak. Smooth and elegant, but containing e nough soft tannin to carry it for years. One of the greatest of the new Italian reds. —

Kendall-Jackson Merlot Alexander Valley +
Kendall-Jackson
1986
57
16
93
Effusively fruity, bursting with cherry aroma and flavor, complicated by other berries and the right touch of oak, beautifully structured, firm, tight and long. Needs time to lose the tannic toughness on the finish. Best after 1991. —
1988
Pétrus Pomerol +
Pétrus

98
A massive concentration of rich, intense plum, cherry, spice, smoke and cho colate flavors that are wrapped in thick, rich tannins and cedary oak. It g ains intensity and vibrancy on the palate, a powerful wine with a distinct personality that will stand 20 years of cellaring- and then some. A great Petrus. —

Beautifully crafted, plump, very long and complex. Medium gold, lush and si lky, with lemon, fig, apricot, pear, and a particualrly elegant balance of acidity, fruit and wood. Power and finesse in the same package. Drink now through 2000. —
