I'm wondering if a bottle of this vintage is OK to drink now? Is it
too old? I actually have a couple of bottles of different cabernets from this year, are they too old? Thanks, James. |

I have not tasted the 94, but I notice that Hugh Johnson lists it in red
in his 2005 pocket guide, which indicates that it is one of the best vintages of Clos Du Val for drinking in 2005. Also Clos Du Val has made many wines that age very well. I still have a few bottles of their 1974 CS, which is a little lighter now, but still drinking very well. This wine often requires several years of age to be at the best. My mailbox is always full to avoid spam. To contact me, erase from my email address. Then add . I do not check this box every day, so post if you need a quick response. |

I just finished my 1994 Silver Oaks Alexander at small dinner party. Also a
1992 of same. In my opinion they had peaked and likely not getting any better. They were enjoyable wines. In my opionion they did evolve but I think were excellent in their youth. The age did make them more supple...but not more complex.
