1995 Red Bordeaux
An excellent year for both sides of the Gironde and just the vintage that Bordeaux needed after the rain affected vintages of the previous 4 years. A mild winter and early spring was followed by a dry, hot summer. It did rain in early September but the rain was less than in the previous 4 vintages and, crucially, there was perfect weather from September 20th through to October.
Quality is high across all levels and appellations, with the Merlot-dominated wines of St-Emilion and Pomerol being particularly successful. The best wines are very ripe and display good concentration and structure. Although many wines are open and offer real appeal now, they have the potential to develop for many years. Château Margaux is the wine of the vintage.

"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 ...

Only 35% of the harvest was considered worthy for the first wine, and this is reflected in the superb quality of this wine. Extremely rich with a well-balanced tannic structure, it exhibits lovely ripe fruits and mineral characteristics. An elegant St. Julien. | ||||
