Château Margaux--Vintage 1995
1 dozen bottles per lot
Château Margaux--Vintage 1995 Margaux, 1er cru classé Lot 32 and 33 in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 32-33 "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 with jammy black fruits, licorice, and minerals. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with extraordinary richness, fabulous equilibrium, and hefty tannin in the finish. In spite of its large size and youthfulness, this wine is user-friendly and accessible. This is a thrilling Margaux that will always be softer and more evolved than its broader-shouldered sibling, the 1996. How fascinating it will be to follow the evolution of both of these vintages over the next half century. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2040." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #115 (Feb 1998) 1 dozen bottles per lot
