Deep dark honey color. Out of the gate this had wonderful intense lemon peel and honeydew melons. There was an interesting flintiness and a touch of caramel. A nice lilt acid level and a clean pure mouth feel. After 15 minutes it had gone downhill quickly. The fruit dried up and all that was left was the acid: more pronounced and less 'lilty'. Not as good as the '96 we had at the CLONYC ToKalon dinner last winter, but nice if your not going to dwell on a bottle all night. A good deal for the $20 I paid non-the-less.

CT Group does 1995 Bordeaux w/ Blind Wine Mania @ Mike J: Crisp wine with sharp, stern honey and fruit. Needs breathing due to the searing acidity. Great, mouth-watering wine. Only a hint of grass to betray it's Sauvignon Blanc nature.
