Tasting Notes
Vinous 83-85
Medium color. Rather shallow nose dominated by oak spice and ginger. Supple, cherry-flavored fruit offers some appeal, but lacks depth of flavor. The somewhat short finish is rather aggressively oak-spicy.
Robert Parker 87
The qualitative equivalent of the 1993, although more backward, tannic, and weighty, this dark ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied, spicy, rich wine is well-made. It is soft for a 1994, yet capable of lasting 15-18 years. Some tannin in the finish suggests that purchasers should give it 2-3 years of cellaring.
Anticipated maturity: 1999-2015
