1995 just hitting it's stride - smoky earth, pipe tobacco, cherry and cassis in abundance, velvety texture and amazing length. Probably even more interesting in another five to ten years but why wait if you've got a couple or more?

raspberry, eucalyptus, herbal, animal. Tasted blind, I could almost be convinced that this was a Rhone wine.
