Had this opened and decanting for 2 hours and it did not feel like enough time for this wine to emerge.

Dense and chewy. This wine seemed to hold back but brimming with flavor

From magnum. Initially this smelled of bandaid and dirty diapers. However, with air the stink blew off to reveal a beautiful mature wine with lovely sweet fruit with more style resolved tannins. — a month ago

Very young. Still somewhat unstructured and tannins that need to mellow. But good potential. — 2 months ago

Lush!! This wine was hefty and ready for red meats. You could definitely feel the impact of the 14.5% in this one. Not bad, just a big boy.  — 2 months ago

Opened about 8 hours prior to service and Audouze’d. The 1995 pours a pale garnet with a transparent core and a watery rim. There significant variation of the rim too. The viscosity is medium and there is no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing (still!) with notes of bright red cherries, anise, garrigue, cedar forest, leather, dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The body is quite light and thin…but healthy. The finish is medium. Very pretty; very Burgundian. This bottle belies its age. Drink now and through 2030. — a month ago
