Barrel samples of Graillot's 1994s appear to be excellent, but his 1993s, while relatively successful given the number of failures in this vintage, are lean, compact, diluted wines with just enough fruit to make them drinkable. The 1993 Crozes-Hermitage exhibits an herbaceous nose, medium body, and tart, spicy flavors with high acidity. There is not much flesh to this emaciated wine.
