90 points -- ... bouquet that opens nicely, somewhat reluctantly giving up rose petals, dried orange peel, kirsch and toffee. It has fine definition... The palate is medium-bodied with supple, decayed tannins. There is plenty of leathery red fruit infused with white pepper, cured meat and citrus peel... 1972 has good pedigree and breeding, yet it is a little conservative and aloof. 66,500 bottles produced.
