Description

If it were not for the prodigious 1996, everyone would be concentrating on getting their hands on a few bottles of the fabulous 1995, which is one of the vintage's great success stories. The wine boasts an opaque ruby/purple color, and exceptionally pure, beautifully knit aromas of black fruits, minerals, vanillin and spice. On the attack, it is staggeringly rich, yet displays more noticeable tannin than its younger sibling. Exceptionally ripe cherry and cassis fruit, the judicious use of toasty new oak, and a thrilling mineral character intertwined with the high quality obtained by Lascases, make this a compelling effort. There is probably nearly as much tannin as in the 1996. The finish is incredibly long in this classic. Only 35% of the harvest was of sufficient quality for the 1995.
Score: 95 Robert Parker, February 1998


A clear winner in this mixed vintage, the wine is concentrated, deep and fresh, with a ripe, blackberry essence. Full bodied and long, the wine is young, yet, with the ripeness in the tannins and the fruit, it's already enjoyable in your glass. In time, another 10 years or so, this will be even better!

Recent Cellartracker notes:

2/3/2017 - LIBER LIKES THIS WINE: 95 points
Decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, right back on form with the colour and energy of a young wine but attractive secondary flavours and silk now developing, concentrated, complex and classy, long life ahead. VF (18.5).

1/21/2017 -SONOMA DUCK LIKES THIS WINE: 94 points
Purchased at release. Perfect cork, medium to dark ruby, nose of cedar. Gave it a 2.5 hour decant and served with lamb chops. Really excellent wine, complex with a very long finish. Plenty of structure to age well for a few more years.
