Vintage 1994

Bordeaux Vintage Report 1994 / After a mild winter, spring brought heavy rain and frost which significantly damaged the vineyards. After a stormy start to the summer, the weather calmed down and changed very favorably for the latter part of the vintage.

Written Notes

A first-class, bright, very youthful colour, although there is an orange-tawny tinge to the wine speaking of advancing maturity. Modest and simple wine at first, although it was very enjoyable and stylish right from the start. Not as complex and intense as 1995, but certainly very good quality, better than I expected. Sensible weight on the palate, and there is still some soft tannin and ripe fruit around. Unquestionably ready, but well structured and should hold well for another 10 years.
