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 Mortet Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.JacquesMay. 2009
Medium, medium-plus colour. Fine and wide aromas, less dark than many, still spicy but becoming a little animale. Ripe with some fat, really nice texture despite, or perhaps because of the furry tannin. Insinuating flavours refuse to depart though this is still a baby. Quite minerally saline and very long. Nice.
