Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1995
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
1995 was a precocious year. The winter was mild and the spring hot and dry. The bud burst and the flowering were precocious and homogeneous. June, July and August were characterised by hot temperature and no rain. Some of the vines with superficial roots as for young vines suffered from dryness. The harvest was perfectly ripe and sound although September was cooler than usual and rainy in the middle of the month
Tasting note:
Equal top mark at a blind tasting of first growth'95s. Well evolved yet surprisingly low-keyed, opened up, harmonious; soft, good fruit, very Graves, very attractive. Last tasted Dec 2006 ***(**). Now-2020. MB
