96 points Robert Parker: "This wine is just beginning to drink spectacularly well. The fabulous 1991 Reserve is the quintessential Napa Cabernet that represents a synthesis in style between the elegance of a first-growth Bordeaux and the ripe, intense, generous fruit of Napa Valley. It is just hitting its peak of maturity where it should remain for 10-20 years. (Aug 2002)"

95 points Wine Spectator: "Striking, with a solid core of rich dark berry, currant and boysenberry flavors. Dense and powerful for a Mondavi Reserve. Still promising.—Robert Mondavi vertical (December 2015). Drink now. (6/30/16)"

93 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "(13.4% alcohol; 70% To Kalon): Good dark red. Inviting aromas and flavors of currant, spices, tobacco and mocha complicated by nuances of meat and leather. Sweet, pliant, elegant Cabernet with lovely vinosity and cut. Subtly aromatic and fine-grained in the way of a seriously good Médoc wine. Finishes very long, with serious but suave tongue-dusting tannins. This very classy bottle seemed even younger than my sample of the 1994. (May 2016)"
