The 1995 exhibits a dark ruby/purple color with moderate saturation. A spicy, ripe, richly fruity nose with hints of earth and new oak is moderately intense. Some tannin, good purity, medium body, and a firm, measured, elegant style suggest this wine should last for 12 years, but be fully drinkable in 2-3. Last tasted 11/97

Harmonious. A wine with pretty fruit and velvety tannins. Medium- to full-bodied, with chocolate, berry character and a fruity finish of medium length. Best after 1999.
