Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #109 (2/1997) Rating: 87 points Drink: 1999-2015
The qualitative equivalent of the 1993, although more backward, tannic, and weighty, this dark ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied, spicy, rich wine is well-made. It is soft for a 1994, yet capable of lasting 15-18 years. Some tannin in the finish suggests that purchasers should give it 2-3 years of cellaring. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/31/1997) Score: 89
Complex aromas of spices, berries and plums, with fine, silky tannins and a caressing finish. Medium body. Hard not to drink it now, but better in 1999. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Closed still on the nose, but intense fruit is underlying. A massive, youthful, aggressive palate, ferociously tannic, with a good fruit level. |
Food Match: |
Western food: This wine will perfectly accompany grilled red meat or abalone in tasty sauce but will also enhance mushroom flavours nicely, also excellent with game.
Chinese food: Roast duck/goose,grilled lamb, roasted suckling pigeon,Spicy shrimps and crabs,dried or smoked meats,braised fish.
