Vertical tasting 1994 and 1995. In the glas: beautiful transparency with deep coloring. No fading. A bit darker than the 1995. bouquet: a bit floral blend with aged fruit. Fine and perfect balance. taste: hints of ripe apple/pear with very light chocolate. Perfect acidity balance. The wine rolled around the tongue as if it were a duvet of grapes. The 13.5% alcohol did not go unnoticed.

At first the wine appeared a little thin and too easy. however the palate grew with more time in glass. Lovely mature VR nose with floral overtones, lots of spices and slight undergrowth. Palate with decent energy and stuffings after an hour, medium plus finish. A very lovely Grands Ech and better not to wait.

One of the best 1994s. Dark, fragrant, touch of sweetness. Very nice indeed
