A Note On The 1995 Vintage.
1995 ****...was welcomed by the trade and consumers alike. It has turned out well, to the extent that I am tempted to add an extra star... The driest Summer for 20 years; All was set for an exceptional vintage. Picking started early and was almost immediately interupted by heavy rain which then subsided into light showers... ending with an Indian Summer. Some Merlots were caught by the early rains but Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon were very successful, the latter achieving almost unheard of sugar levels. Overall the wines are ripe, firm, with considerable charm and a good future. M.B.
