June 23, 1990 - At Singer & Foy survey of new "killer Cabs." Very lovely dark ruby; coats the glass. Nose shows highly extracted fruit. Not as deep or powerful as some others. On the palate, mouth-drying tannins are downright astringent. Is there enough fruit? I don't think so. Good, but too tannic. 5-11-14-5: 85/100.
