Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (3), November 1998

This 1970 remains youthfully hard and astringent, but there is no doubting the high levels of concentration and intensity.Moreover, the wine exhibits a classy, complex bouquet, offering up scents of cedar, black fruits, minerals, and leather. Full bodied, powerful and rich, this wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring. It is unquestionably a 40-50 year wine.
