Wine Information

Characteristics of the vintage

Perfect weather lasted throughout the year and through the harvest . After three months of sunshine and high temperatures in June, July and August, some rain and cooler weather came in September, although this was in no way harmful to the crop. By the time picking began, the weather was fine again; the grapes had reached optimum maturity and were in perfect condition

Vintage 1995

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.

Written Notes

Deep ruby, almost opaque colour. Extremely refined nose with many layers – blackcurrants, cedar, cigars, tobacco, roasted coffee, hints of capsicum. Restrained medium-bodied palate shows moderately high acidity, refined powdery tannins and deliciously ripe black fruit character. The concentrated texture holds elegant touches of spicy and toasty oak flavours. Long lingering mineral rich finish. Aristocratic style of Margaux par excellence. Truly classic wine benefiting from further ageing for a decade or two but is lovely already.

Consistent notes. Deep red. Powerful nose of ripe blackcurrants and raspberries. On the palate it was chewy, well-constructed with fine balance and fine aftertaste. This was a bit lighter wine than usual for the property, but nevertheless a wine you really would enjoy without any complaints. This one should keep for additional 10-15 years.

Bright ruby. Fruity, floral, cassis and blueberries. Scented and layered. Ads with air. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruity and elegant, lively, long. Some felt quite strongly that this bottle was corked but even after six hours in the glass, there was no trace of any cork taint, and even the most bombastic tasters went silence.
