Ok... aromatically quite deep soy, brown sugar, black cherry, earth. Dense and rich mouthfeel a bit wound up.... will get more refined?

Old school style, a little heavy on the oak.

Surprising structure and completely in tact with nice nuances and balance. For a heralded year 1994 that most have faded but this was a good effort!

Stunning! One of my top five wines all year! A gift from a guest. Notes of eucalyptus, tobacco, dried herbs, oak and hints of red fruit. Perfectly balanced and aged! Phenomenal!

1994 vintage. Trick or treat. Decanted and tasted multiple times over two hours. Light-medium body. Fantastic, old-school BDX nose. Somewhat linear as someone else proffered but still plenty of life. At least another half-decade in this place. Was just missing a little fruit in the front/mid-palates. Cork was solid but juice tasted like a second bottle might have some variation on the positive side. May find out sooner rather than later. 10.31.23.
