1995 was a short harvest, reduced by about 30%, but apparently an excellent one for quality. A mature-looking red with a bricking rim. The nose is meaty and savoury, with a baked quality. It's quite volatile and very aromatic, with complex spicy elements. The volatility is evident on the palate, but its quite concentrated with firm tannins and a spicy, alcoholic finish. Plenty of complexity, and may well develop in interesting ways over the next few years. A big wine.

- I'm not going to use "wine" terms here. I had my first taste of this wine at Thanksgiving 2007 and I have never reacted to a wine this way. Best wine I've tasted and I make it a point to taste some highly recommended and rated wines. If you can get your hands on a bottle, do it. You won't regret it.
