Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 98 points

The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep brick color. Wow—what a nose! It comes charging out of the glass with mature, forthright notes of sandalwood, cigar box, powdered cinnamon, camphor and dried mulberries over a core of figs, prunes, gingerbread and kirsch with a waft of potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is an exercise in finesse, sporting exquisitely soft, silt-like tannins and seamless freshness to frame the intensely perfumed layers, finishing very long and very spicy.
