89 points Wine Spectator: "Hard and tannic, but stylish and flavorful, offering cherry, chocolate and toast aromas and flavors that are rich, round and long. Needs until 1997 to 2000 to shed its tannins. " (02/91)

Four stars Michael Broadbent (last tasted June 2000): "Tasted nine times in the last decade, the last two dining at the chateau. Remarkably good for a '75 - rich, flavoury, full of fruit, its tannin completely submerged." 89 points Wine Spectator: "Slightly tough, but a damn nice glass of red. Ruby-garnet in color, with tobacco, cedar and fruit aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied with full, velvety tannins and ripe fruit. Will improve with age.- Pichon-Lalande vertical." (11/97)

89 points Robert Parker: "A soft, elegant, medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon ... there are generous amounts of rich, black-cherry, and cassis fruit, a gentle touch of toasty new oak, and a velvety finish. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next decade." (06/94) According to the Wine Spectator: "This is a lean, earthy bottling of Grace, which usually shows more ripe, opulent fruit. It's tightly wound and compact, with spicy currant, cedar and spice notes..." (11/94)

89 points Wine Spectator: "Extremely youthful and full of extract, with concentrated currant, cedar and herb aromas and flavors and hints of cola and tea on the long, smooth finish. A complete wine, drink now or hold through 1998. 447 cases made." (11/92)

89 points Robert Parker: "If you have the patience to wait 2 or 3 years, the Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras, from the superb Premier Cru vineyard next to the Grand Cru Bonnes Mares, is intense, full bodied, and deep, with gorgeous levels of fruit. However, it needs time to shed its tannins. Of the 1988s, it is by far Barthod's most powerful wine." (01/90)

89 points Wine Spectator: "Well crafted...well focused on a core of currant and black cherry, with light toast and cedary oak shadings. Finishes with firm, round tannins and a trace of mineral. Good structure. Best from 2001 through 2009. 1,300 cases made." (11/98) 89(+?) points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Very saturated deep red-ruby. Sappy aromas of black cherry, cola, licorice and maple syrup. Not particularly sweet but offers good ripeness for the year; initially a bit hard, but showed a pliancy with aeration, along with intriguing ... Read More »

89 points Wine Enthusiast: "A luxuriously smooth and fruity wine that drinks well now, it has pretty aromas of wild berries, herbs and bacon, and very extracted berry and spice flavors. Dry, but has a sweet glycerin-laden mouthfeel and a long finish. Mainly Sangiovese, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Teroldego and Cabernet Franc." (09/00)

89 points Wine Spectator: "An earthy wine, crisp and intense, this may well surprise with age. Has plenty of flavor and depth, but remains austere.--Diamond Creek vertical." (06/98) With another decade of age on it, this "Gravelly Creek" should be drinking beautifully now!

89 points Wine Spectator: "A bit rustic, with a mineral quality, while currant, cherry and plum flavors emerge to give balance and depth. Picks up a minty note, with supple tannins. Best after 1999." (07/97) 

Inventory: San Francisco

89 points Wine Spectator: "Firm and compact, with a tight, narrow band of spicy currant, cedary oak and mineral notes. Picks up an earthy edge on the finish but hangs together. Best after 1998." (11/94)

89 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Suggestion of wintermint on the nose; a bit muted by SO2 Rich and spicy but dry and linear. Conveys an impression of extract and hints of pear and apple skin. Finishes with good length." (Sep/Oct 06) According to Allen Meadows: "A generously toasty nose fights somewhat with the otherwise elegant white flower and anise-infused aromas that complement the rich, full and sweet flavors that possess excellent volume, particularly in the context of the vintage and culminate in a nicely long finish. The woo... Read More »

89 points Robert Parker: "The 1987 Alexander Valley exhibits a big, dramatic, spicy, oaky, smoky nose that is also intermingled with aromas of herbs and black fruits. It offers a big, generous, supple mouthful of Cabernet fruit bolstered by adequate acidity. It is framed nicely by the vanillin notes of American oak. This is an elegant, smooth and forward Cabernet..." (08/93) And, according to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Full red. Warm but exaggerated American oak aromas of scotch and chocolate, along with redcurrant and plum fruit notes... Read More »
