Amazing new cellar purchase – The 1995 First Growths
Perfect for any anniversary ending in “five” this year! An amazing collection from the excellent 1995 vintage with superb provenance. 1995 will always be remembered as the start of a new era for Bordeaux. After a string of inconsistent vintages, mother nature really cooperated in 1995 and the rest is history…1995’s have always been structured and built for the long haul (they remind me 1986 in some way) and are finally starting to come around. These are sealed cases bought and stored in a pristine cellar since release. A great opportunity for sure to own some of the best wines made anywhere in 1995!
