Expert Reviews
Full medium ruby. Superripe aromas of plum, cherry skin, meat, cedar and lead pencil. Dense, layered, generous fruit flavors of raspberry and plum complicated by almost peppery wood spices. In a drier style, and a bit aggressive on the back end. I'm not sure why I was sent this bottle as a current release, as I have previously reported on the '95 and '96 Baron de Chirel releases; according to my notes, the subsequent vintages show more old-viney concentration and opulence than this '94.
