Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1995
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Tasting Note: First noted in December 1997 at a pre-sale tasting in New York : deep, velvety ; harmonious ; very dry finish. Next, the opening wine at the MW Haut-Brion tasting in September 1998 : nice texture and weight (13, elegant. 'Delicious flavour, great length' among other facets noted at the MW tasting, a vertical of Haut-Brion. Very detailed notes made : deep, crisp ruby with maturing rim ; somewhat cherry-like fruit developing richly over 30 minutes in the glass ; attractive fruit, chewy, shapely, good dry finish (Monsieur Delams observed that the '95 was softer, smoother and rounder than the '96, with fleshier, mellower tannins). An equal top mark at Rodenstock's blind tasting of first growth '95s. Lovely wine. Last tasted March 2001. ***** M.B.
