Wine Advocate#115(2/1998)Rating:91 points Drink:2004-2025
Somewhat closed and reticent after bottling, but still impressive, this 1995 possesses a dark ruby/purple color, as well as an oaky nose with classic scents of cassis, vanillin, cedar, and spice. Dense and medium to full-bodied, with softer tannin and more accessibility than the 1996, but not quite the packed and stacked effect on the palate, the 1995 is an outstanding textbook St.-Julien that will handsomely repay extended cellaring. - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (2007) Score:94
A beautiful wine, with layers of ripe fruit, berry, cedar, vanilla and light spice. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Very, very classy stuff. Best after 2008. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Fragrant cedar and cassis nose. Rich, tight palate, with firm acidity and evident tannins, supported by attractive, black fruit; long. |
