Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: In comparison to the more open-knit, flattering style of the 1993, the 1994 is a backward, less precocious, more tannic wine that needs another 5-7 years of cellaring. It is a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This is clearly an up and coming St.-Emilion estate that could join the top estates of the appellation. The vineyards are superbly situated, and the Becots appear to be willin...
