Showing exceptionally well, this dark ruby-colored 1994 displays no hard tannin or herbaceous/greenness to its aromatics or flavors. The wine is admirably rich, with dense, black-cherry, chocolatey, cassis fruit, firm but sweet tannin, and a medium-bodied, spicy finish. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 15 years.

Plum, raspberry and oak notes peak through on the nose and carry through on the palate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a crisp but slightly diluted finish. Better in 1998.
