The 1995 vintage was relatively late and came at the end of a prolonged period of gentle ripening in warm conditions. The yields were not large—about the same as 1994, yet less than 1991. There were no major hot spells and no serious rain or cold periods. This should be it. What did we get? A dense, supple, chewy wine. Ripe, but no hint of overripeness. Tannic, yes, but very fine tannins. Perhaps not as showy as the 1994 Cain Five, but with as much class. |
