Lot #934. Joseph Phelps Insignia 1994

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 98 RP.
"The 1994 boasts an inky/purple color along with a glorious nose of black raspberries, blackberries and black currants that is still somewhat primary despite nearly 18 years in bottle. The Phelps team kept this cuvee in 100% new French oak for 28 months. Its magnificent structure, intensity and purity of fruit, ripeness, balance combined with authoritative power and the magnetic appeal of this full-bodied, Bordeaux-styled wine are extraordinary. This amazing effort is just coming into its best years, and should drink well for at least another 15-20 years." eRobertParker.com #1113, Nov 2013
Provenance: The Griffin Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $375
