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!

95 JA

Part of a crazy lineup of wines at a private supper this year, and this was the glass that disappeared on me almost before I noticed I was drinking it. Layer upon layer of black truffle, white truffle, redcurrant and raspberry fruit, with edges of lemongr...

1995 Chateau Haut Brion Pessac

750ml | SKU 12199 | 11 Available
96 WA

It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage th...

The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc. The wine was showing spectacularly well when I tasted it in November, 1997. It exhibits a dark...

1995 Chateau Latour - Pauillac (750ml)

750ml | SKU 101577 | 12 Available
96 WA

A beauty, the opaque dense purple-colored 1995 exhibits jammy cassis, vanillin, and minerals in its fragrant but still youthful aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with exceptional purity, superb concentration, and a long, intense, ripe, 40-second finish, t...

1995 Chateau Margaux - Margaux

750ml | SKU 12211 | 12 Available
95 WA

Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed...

1995 Chateau Mouton Rothschild - Pauillac

750ml | SKU 12214 | 12 Available
95 WA

Bottled in June, 1997, this profound Mouton is more accessible than the more muscular 1996. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot, it reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice...
