Scores + Notes
This perennial overachiever has turned out an attractive 1994, with a dark purple color, a sweet, plummy, herb, mineral, and spice-scented nose, powerful, medium to full-bodied, concentrated flavors with adequate acidity and moderate tannin. The wine has a certain precociousness, as well as ripe fruit and good balance. It should drink well for 12-15 years. Apr 1996, www.robertparker.com

The wines had weight, sweet fruit, balance and more. I asked Hervé Berland what the trick was. He just smiled ...
