Wine Advocate

Forty-seven percent of the harvest made it into the 1994 Margaux. The wine is reminiscent of their 1985, with more structure and tannin. It exhibits a deep, opaque ruby/purple color, and an attractive, sweet nose of blackcurrants, spice, toast, and floral scents. Good fatness, layered richness, impressive extraction of fruit, and fine purity are noticeable in this medium-bodied, elegant yet concentrated wine. The finish exhibits sweet but noticeable tannin. The wine will firm up in the barrel. This outstanding Margaux should drink well during its first decade of life and keep for 20-35 years. By the way, the 1993 Margaux, which was just about to be bottled, continues to taste like one of the stars of that vintage.
