"The 1994 Imperial Gran Reserva is another stellar young vintage of this bottling, and it will be a great pleasure to compare the evolution of the 1994 and 1995 versions of Imperial over the coming three or four decades. The 1994 offers up a more black fruity bouquet than the ’95, jumping from the glass in a superb blend of dark berries, cassis, Rioja spice tones, a beautifully complex base of soil, coffee, cigar smoke and a touch of spicy wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, young and rock solid at the core, with well-measured, suave tannins, lovely focus and nascent complexity and excellent grip on the very long and intensely flavored finish. A beautiful Imperial in the making."
International Wine Cellar, 92+ Points
"Bright ruby-red. Currant, spice cake, mocha, leather and smoke on the nose. Supple but sappy and vinous, with complex, laid-back flavors of cedar, leather and game. The wine's firm acids and underlying minerality restrain its sweetness. But very suave, firmly tannic and long on the aftertaste."
Wine Spectator,
"Polished and harmonious, this red shows cherry, plum, toast and tobacco flavors on a generous frame. It's still fresh."
