Tasting Notes
An excellent d’Issan, with more noticeable tannin than the 1996, the 1995 possesses a deep ruby color, an excellent spicy, weedy, licorice, and black currant-scented nose, sweet fruit on the attack, and very good purity, ripeness, and overall balance. The wine is well-made and more backward than the 1996, even though I suspect the latter wine has more tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2014.
This property appears to be on the rebound as the1995s and 1996s are the two finest back to back vintages I have ever tasted from d’Issan.(Wine Advocate #115 Feb 1998)
