The wine in this lot has a score of 91 from Allen Meadows and the following tasting note -While the nose is now fully tertiary as it's largely dominated by sous bois, there is still plenty of that lovely Asian spice and dried rose petal character that introduces medium weight and beautifully complex middle weight flavors that offer fine depth and length. While this is by no means a great example, it is as good a 1981 as I've had in a long time and one that is drinking perfectly. If there is a nit, it's that one can sense an impending decline and if I owned this wine, I would be inclined to drink up sooner than later. Note- I've experienced some bottle variation that may or may not have been due to storage though another recent bottle was a mirror image of the one reviewed here.
