The 1995 Petit-Bocq exhibits a deep ruby color, attractive sweet, rich fruit, nice spice, good purity, and a medium-bodied, seamless personality. This is a stylish, supple St.-Estephe to consume over the next 7-8 years.
This is a seriously run, small estate of 17+ acres planted with 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Both the 1995 and 1996 vintages merit interest, particularly for those seeking value in Bordeaux.
