Matt Scott Likes this wine: 96 points
August 21, 2016 - Decanted for three hours. In the same vein as the '05, this is polished and well-layered, yet only revealing so much. Blackberry, black tea, graphite, flower shop and dried mulch. Long in the back end and the polished tannins hold this within a complete frame. This is reminiscent of something by Edward Hopper. Drink 2021-.

Here's a Cellar Tracker 2017 comment on the '94 just a week ago. "5/8/2017 - DUGYDOG LIKES THIS WINE: 91 Points Drinking way younger than it's age"
