["Somewhat closed and reticent after bottling, but still impressive, this 1995 possesses a dark ruby/purple color, as well as an oaky nose with classic scents of cassis, vanillin, cedar, and spice. Dense and medium to full-bodied, with softer tannin and more accessibility than the 1996, but not quite the packed and stacked effect on the palate, the 1995 is an outstanding textbook St.-Julien that will handsomely repay extended cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025.- Robert Parker Jr. (02/1998)"]

["Tantalising red, with violet, berry and blackberry aromas and hints of earth. Full-bodied and chewy, with lots of fruit and flavors. Long, velvety finish. Best after 2001. –JS WS"]
