The 1995 Lafite-Rothschild (only one-third of the harvest made it into the final blend) is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 8% Cabernet Franc.
This is an excellent vintage, with particularly fine tannins. It is very elegant with a long palate and will age for a very long time.
It exhibits a dark ruby purple color, and a sweet, powdered mineral, smoky, weedy cassis-scented nose. Beautiful sweetness of fruit is present in this medium-bodied, tightly-knit, but gloriously pure, well-delineated Lafite. The 1995 is not as powerful or as massive as the 1996, but it is beautifully made with outstanding credentials, in addition to remarkable promise.
