Tasting notes
Dense color saturation is impressive, but this 1994 is astringent, austere, and severe in style. Unlike its bigger sibling, Lafite-Rothschild, the Duhart does not possess enough ripeness, weight, or sweetness in the finish, suggesting it will dry out, becoming too emaciated and attenuated with another 5-8 years of cellaring.

A well-crafted wine, this has berry, smoke and vanilla aromas and flavors, caressing texture and fine tannins. Drink or hold.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1997

Wine Advocate.February, 1997
Healthy medium color. Austere black fruit, mint and shoe polish aromas. Modest fat and sweetness in the mouth; good acidity and cut. Finishes somewhat austere, with a slight greenness but reasonable length.
