What a pleasant surprise. I read that 1994 is not a good red burgundy vintage and most of the wines should have been drunk long ago. Yet this Lafon from a magnum is drinking great. Decanted one hour. The nose is a little rustic with dusty smells and a little pinot fruit coming through. The color is a fairly dark blackish red with moderate bricking. The palate is structured and refine with red pinot fruit, earth, olives and herbs coming through into a fairly long and interesting finish. There are green notes hear but they work out ok as the fruit component is strong enough to complement them. This has loads of character and can last at least five more years.

Disappointing that it was off. Stewed fruit.
