Sitting on a few of those myself, that shot me in fear over to Cellar Tracker to see if others had been similarly dismayed with recent bottles, and no, it would seem Jay's bottle was simply a bad bottle. Which got Walt Carpenter and I talking since I am relying on him to tell me when these wines are ready to drink, and he thinks the 94's are going to open up the way the 88's eventually did. I've only opened one of my 94's ever: a Pavie Macquin about three years ago which I found very black, taut and unyielding.
I don't have many, but I'll sacrifice another for the cause if anyone wants to join me. I have Roche Brun, Pichon Baron, Leoville Las Cases, Margaux, Canon, Pavie Macquin and Grand Puy Lacoste available to compare with anything someone else has. Of those, I'm guessing the Roche Brun and the Canon would be the likeliest ducks to quack.

The Leoville Las Cases was drinking a bit muted, but is by no means devoid of positives. Not worth the tariff, but not a bad wine by any stretch.-Michael

No, I think that the 94 LLC would make a truly excellent luncheon wine....
