Vintage information 1995:

A funny vintage. Both red and whites were better than good after the disappointment of 1994 and the critical dismissal of 1993. The wines had good acidity and concentration, the reds were very concentrated, and quite tannic - tannin that is only today starting to melt - some find the reds uncultured vs the '96's, but I find no easy distinction, often preferring the '95's. The whites are concentrated, interesting and starting to drink quite well.

 

1995 Drouhin Joseph, CortonApr. 2009
Medium ruby-red colour – perhaps a little muddy. For the first 2 hours this is a ’so what’ wine, a nose that seems a little roast and shows flavours that offer little interest and no charm. Very slowly the nose takes on a little width, and whilst far from effusive seems a little fresher. The palate slowly becomes fatter and develops more complexity – its best ‘angle’ is certainly the mix of lingering flavours, though the acidity and tannin are pretty good.
