Made from nearly 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine is
stubbornly backward, unappealing, and severe and astringent on the palate.
There is plenty of weight, and the wine possesses admirable purity, with no
suggestion of herbaceousness or underripe fruit, but the wine's personality
refuses to be coaxed from the glass. The 1994 Lafite may turn out to be austere
and disappointing flavor-wise, but possesses a fabulous set of aromatics (does
that sound reminiscent of the 1961, another Lafite that was primarily Cabernet
Sauvignon?). I am not giving up on this wine, but purchasers should be willing
to wait 15-20 years before pulling a cork. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2030.
