Chocolate, figgy nose. But classy. Charm with restraint. Medium body. Quite firm. Not hard though. We like wines like this — nothing blockbuster about them but the sum is a balanced, elegant and measured claret. I got a lot more out of this than my guests; they go straight for the more exotic and fleshy vintages of Eglise Clinet. À chacun son goût! When to drink your ’94s depends on which side of the fence you sit. Personally, I am going to keep at two more of these in the cellar to enjoy over the next five years. Those of you who want their Pomerol to be a little more Marilyn Monroe will prolly think this one is past its prime and needs drinking up pronto.
