Description

Looking like a murky, red tea, the wine offered a perfume filled with tobacco, mint, leaf, forest floor, cedar and bright, red red fruits. Medium bodied, with a light, sweet and tart, spicy, red fruit finish. At this age, each bottle is different, but there is reason to age this wine any longer. If you have a bottle, pop the cork.

89 points - Tasted May 5, 2016 The Wine cellar insider.

1955 Bordeaux wine remains one of the better, older, mature vintages. Strong wines were produced from the Medoc , Pomerol, St. Emilion and Pessac Leognan appellations. The 1955 Bordeaux wine growing season enjoyed warm, dry and sunny conditions. In fact, the summer was close to perfect. It was hot for most of June, July and August. Some rain fell in September, but the rain came at right moment and helped the dry vintage to reach maximum levels of ripeness. 1955 Bordeaux wine is the result of an above average sized crop.
