1992 compared to 1994. 1992 offered lots more fruit and 1994 was pensive and ever changing.

1994 vintage Petrol and beeswax notes on nose. Still good acidity but fading a bit.

Nerd alert. Smells like kerosene and wet wool. Tastes like bruised peaches.

When I first opened it, the palate was shut down and it appeared over the hill, this 20 year old wine need some time to open up, interesting stuff. 99 and 01 drinking better right now.
