The 1994 reveals red and blackcurrants, oak, and toast in the nose. Although soft for a wine of this vintage, and lacking some of the mid-palate intensity possessed by the 1993, it is well made, dense, and medium-bodied. Despite light tannin in the finish, this wine should drink well young, and keep for 7-8 years.

Interesting floral aromas, especially violets, and a hint of fruit. Medium-bodied, with ripe fruit flavors and ultrafine tannins. Delicate finish. Better in 1999. -
