Excellent wine - lots of fruit on the nose and palate - much more than expected - almost like a Australian Shiraz. Still could have gone a couple more years.

This wine really came through great. 12 years later and the cork came out perfectly, several good swirls to let it breath (after all its been in the bottle for 12 years with no air!) and a good sniff gave off a little coffee, a little plum - 1st taste gave a some pepper!. The longer it sat - the better it got! If the rest of my 95's taste this good, It's going to be a great year! I've got a 95 Chateau St Jean Cinq Cepages waiting for News Year Eve! - I can't wait to try it!
