91 / 100 Robert Parker Somewhat closed and reticent after bottling, but still impressive, this 1995 possesses a dark ruby/purple color, as well as an oaky nose with classic scents of cassis, vanillin, cedar, and spice. Dense and medium to full-bodied, with softer tannin and more accessibility than the 1996, but not quite the packed and stacked effect on the palate, the 1995 is an outstanding textbook St.-Julien that will handsomely repay extended cellaring. Wine Advocate #115 Feb 1998
94 / 100 Wine Spectator A beautiful wine, with layers of ripe fruit, berry, cedar, vanilla and light spice. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long finish. Very, very classy stuff.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. http://www.winespectator.com/wine/detail/source/search/not..
17 / 20 Jancis Robinson Very dark lustrous ruby. Quite evolved nose. Scented. Hint of linseed oil. Solid, well balanced, lots of stuffing and the tannins are well managed – almost imperceptible until the very end of the palate. http://www.jancisrobinson.com/tastings/search?perpage=20&k..
