Wine Advocate # 109 (2/1/1997) Rating: 90 points Drink: 2010-2030
This dark ruby/purple-colored wine is stubbornly backward, unappealing, and severe and astringent on the palate. There is plenty of weight, and the wine possesses admirable purity, with no suggestion of herbaceousness or under ripe fruit, but the wine's personality refuses to be coaxed from the glass. The 1994 Lafite may turn out to be austere and disappointing flavor-wise, but possesses a fabulous set of aromatics (does that sound reminiscent of the 1961, another Lafite that was primarily Cabernet Sauvignon?). I am not giving up on this wine, but purchasers should be willing to wait 15-20 years before pulling a cork. –Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/31/1997) Score: 93
A luscious Lafite that is silky and elegant with layers of wonderful violet, berry, cherry and chocolate flavors. It's full-bodied, with racy, refined tannins and good length.
Decanter
Very deep red; elegant oaky nose, developing cigar box character, very stylish; quite rich but oddly neutral fruit, chocolatey, closed, not much finesse; quite good length.
