A highly complex and entirely secondary nose (though with no sous bois) marries into resolved and delicious yet entirely serious middle weight flavors that possess good volume and unusually good power in the context of the vintage. This is a terrific '94 and while it is not elegant, the tannins are ripe (which is also unusual) and overall, this is one of the very best wines of this difficult vintage.
