Vs the 1995 a little nicer texture to the tannins, but otherwise a very similar wine – drunk after many others so no real note.

Much cleaner fruit on the nose (than the 93 Fourrier Combe aux Moines), pure redcurrant – very nice. Lovely sweet palate with a burst of interest on the mid-palate onwards. Still a little earthy with grainy, forward tannins – very 95-esque. A big and interesting wine.
