The 1995 does not possess the depth of the 1996, and reveals a more evolved medium ruby color that is already lightening at the edge. Peppery, herb-tinged red currant fruit aromas are pleasant, but uninspiring. This medium-bodied, straightforward wine lacks the depth, dimension, and power of a top-flight classified growth. It will be at its best between 2001-2010.

Clean aromas of raspberry, cherry and currant. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Ready.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Drink now. -JS
