While not as backward as the 1996, the opaque purple-colored 1995 is a tannic, unevolved, dense, concentrated wine that will require 8-10 years of cellaring. The 1995 exhibits toast, blackcurrant, mineral, and subtle tobacco in its complex yet youthful aromatics. Powerful, dense, concentrated cassis and blueberry flavors might be marginally softer than in the 1996, but there is still plenty of grip and structure to this big wine.
Black licorice and currants on the nose. Very fragrant. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish.
Velvety, fragrant, blackcurrant plus a whiff of singed peat; shapely, moderately substantial, lean, dry and austere.
