Truly a beauty. Supple, silky, vibrant yet concentrated and complex. Loaded with chocolate and cassis, hints of mint and vanilla. Drinkable now but will improve. 1993 Already well-developed, medium bodied with aromas of coffee, black cherry and leather.
Tannins are soft yet drying, almost bitter.
1994 Opulent and altogether showy, with rich and ripe tannins and great depth and length. Malbec becomes part of the blend beginning with this vintage. Still a bit tight and concentrated, with a purple hue and aromas of toasty oak, blueberry, tobacco and leather. Drinkable now but will improve. Intense is the only word to describe the 95.
