Sunday, April 20, 2014 - Dinner for a friends birthday: A wonderful bottle of 1995 Pomerol that was hitting on all cylinders. As much as some say 1995 vintage was harsh I think if you go to Pomerol or anything with a heavy dose of merlot it really seems to meld together and keep it smooth. The cab franc really sang to you on the nose but on the palate the merlot came together beautifully. Some floral coming out on the mouth as well. This wine seemed to be right at the beginning of its peak of balance. The tannins were barely there and gave good grip with a slight dryness but you could drink this all night as it is not thick or rich just pretty and finesse with a good mouthfeel. Drink now aor over the next 10-15 years
