Score 88/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Feb 1996

This closed Syrah requires 5-6 more years of cellaring. An opaque black/purple-colored wine with considerable tannin and intensity, it is immensely weighty and powerful on the palate. There is a degree of austerity in the 1993 that is not present in the unbottled 1994 (a mid-90 point wine). The 1993 is a well-endowed, rich, structured wine for 15-20+ years of cellaring. Imported by Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800, Wines of France, Alain Junguenet, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173, and Ideal Wines, Medford, MA; tel. (617) 395-3300
