The 1995 Vintage ****
"After the previous less inspiring vintages, 1995 was much welcomed by trade and consumers alike. It was the first major en primeur vintage sales campaign since 1990; perhaps overhyped, with prices to match. Yet it has turned out so well, to the extent that I am tempted to add another star....Overall, the wines are ripe, firm, with considerable charms and a good future." MB, Vintage Wine
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1995
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
"This wine has been brilliant on every occasion I have tasted it. More accessible and forward than the 1996, it possesses a saturated ruby/purple color, as well as a beautiful, knock-out set of aromatics, consisting of black fruits, vanillin, spice, and wood-fire smoke. Multidimensional and rich, with layers of ripe fruit, and beautifully integrated tannin and acidity, this medium to full-bodied wine is a graceful, seamless, exceptional Haut-Brion that should drink surprisingly well young. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #115 (Feb 1998)
