Dude, a mag of '94! Awesome call...wish I had even a single mag.

I've had two bottles of the '83 this year - their first year making it - and it was awesome. '97 is probably my favorite, but I have not had '94 - I just know of its reputation, and everytime I sing the praises of '97, I'm told how great the '94 is.

I've had the '97, and it was darn good. '94 IMO is another level higher. Still got a ways to go before it hits its peak. Very French in style, but more accessible.

I've been eyeing this last magnum hungrily, but I'm being patient.

Because it is a mag, it will last plenty long...the '94 supposedly is right in the perfect zone now, which is also where I feel the '97 is from the 4 bottles I've had of it (sadly, it is gone, though...)

I know it's a bit ambiguous but ... what do you guys think the best Cabernet or Cabernet blend is?

No matter where it comes from ...

BORDEAUX is your choice...
