An entirely different growing season gave a wine of very different personality to the celebrated 1994 release. The Merlot ripened perfectly and gives a supple influence to the structure of the 1995 release. A deep scarlet/purple colour relays the richness of the wine. Fresh, fine chocolate aromatics with a background of vanillin and coffee nuanced oak. The palate is deeply flavoured with supple tannins and full of black plums and Christmas cake flavours. A versatile wine which can be appreciated now or will cellar for five to ten years.
