1994 Robert Mondavi Oakville

[winoweenie]

Medium ruby. Superb aromatics of plummy, spicy, berries(black-rasp,&blue), and classic Rurherford dust. All come over on the palate along with a modest taste of menthol for additional complexity. Most of the grapes are from Mondavis' famous To-Kalen vineyard. Solid entry, weighty center and a killer 4&1/2 lapper finish. This wine has continued to improve from the 5-year point on. Close to the top of its' game but still has some velvertyu tannins lurking that will carry it another 1-2. Beautifully done bottle. 91/93. 24 by the box. 13.5% alc. WW
