Wine Advocate#115(2/1998) Rating: 93 points Drink: 2003 - 2028
An explosively rich, exotic, fruity Montrose, the 1995 displays even more fat and extract than the 1996. There is less Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1995 blend, resulting in a fuller-bodied, more accessible and friendlier style. The wine exhibits an opaque black/ruby/purple color, as well as a ripe nose of black fruits, vanillin, and licorice. Powerful yet surprisingly accessible (the tannin is velvety and the acidity low), this terrific example of Montrose should be drinkable at a young age. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/1/007) Score: 88
Aromas of Indian spice, blackberry and currant. Subtle. Full-bodied, with slightly angular tannins, but soft and caressing in the finish. A little hollow but pretty. Drink now. 17,600 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Firm, strong nose. Full-weight palate; good depth of fruit. |
