Quite good tonight. Fresh, youthful. Very youthful actually. Good dark color, medium body and still some power left. Good amount of structure still present.

Quite fresh nose of red cherries, leather and barnyard; palate is very bright with good acidity offsetting the ripe fruit notes. Very clean impression with mineral backbone. Still lots of life left.

Medium ruby with some tawniness. Real oak char followed by a more gamy, red fruited nose with a scooch of herb. Middle weight wine. Typical, strong 1995 structure of acidity and tannin, but this does not detract or seem out of balance at this point. Crackling, lively fruit underneath. In fact, for both the vintage and the Cru, it seems very civilized. Very enjoyable in a masculine, more strict style-I look forward to trying the rest tomorrow. Easily another decade to go. Much better than either Gilman or Burghound suggest.

Platinum Tasting Group - 1995 Clos Vougeot Horizontal (Andre and Sabine's House, Mountain View, CA): Cloudy with brown edges. Somewhat sweet nose, bretty, mushrooms (A-). Sweeter palate than the other wines in the tasting (B++).
My #5, Group's #5 (90 pts). Tasted blind.
