The superb, backward 1994 Clos Dofi requires 3-5 years of cellaring. The color is a dense saturated purple, and the nose offers up black currant, raspberry, and kirsch aromas intermixed with vanillin and minerals. Tannic and medium-bodied, with exquisite ripeness and overall equilibrium.
Very intense nose, mature but still compacted. This wine has a bit of everything: finesse, earthy aromas, ripe blackcurrant and liquorice. Expressive and well structured, with delicious talc-like tannins that will still mellow. I particularly liked it.
