I figured it is a good time to see how 95's are developing. This wine was deep red in color with no signs of visible aging. Nose was showing red fruit on opening. On the palate the acidity and tanins showed more than the fruit, but after about an hour the wine began opening up and became fleshier. Red fruit and minerality dominated, wine was best at two hours. Approachable now, but should be better in three to five years.

Teesside Wine Society Another deep oxblood red wine, some browning on the narrow rim, big legs.Big nose with black fruits and mineral/earth dominating. Lovely smooth mouth, but quite firm and closed. Clearly big and mineral in style. Real class and complexity on the finish. Still to come (maybe in only another hour it would be there) but good stuff : 4

Dried out, without much on the nose, and no real fruit or generosity left. Drink up.
