Dense red-purple; a full, deep and concentrated bouquet with dark plum fruit and subtle oak. Concentrated and rich, with dark plum and black cherry fruit; the tannins run through the palate, and together with the fruit, have literally swallowed up the oak.

the 1994 Lloyd is a huge, monolithic, blockbuster. This wine exhibits a sweet, black fruit (blackberries and prunes), hickory smoke-scented nose, extraordinary ripeness, and mouthcoating levels of glycerin and extract. Massive, deep, rich, and still unformed, this wine should age effortlessly for 12-20 years.
