Vieux Château Certan 1995

The 1995 is similarly made to the 1994, with more color saturation and ripe fruit, as well as lower acidity and less grip. The dark ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of smoky, red and black-currants, licorice, and cedar. It is a lush, rich, medium to full-bodied wine with extremely low acidity and an open, pleasing, easy to understand style. It should drink well for 12-15 years. If it gains weight or exhibits more extract, it will move into the 90-point category.
