This estate, which has had problems with musty barrels over recent vintages, seems to have rectified that problem. Dark ruby/purple-colored with Certan de May's tell-tale roasted peanut, herbal, black-cherry, curranty-scented nose, this wine is reminiscent of the fleshy, open-knit 1983. There is moderate tannin, but the wine is surprisingly forward, soft, and texturally appealing. However, readers must be willing to tolerate a strong herbaceousness to enjoy this 1994
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
