I do not drink enough 1995 Right Bank wines, but the last two I have drunk (Figeac and Magdelaine) have been simply stellar. Out of magnum, the 1995 Magdelaine is still a tad on the young side, but it is so well-balanced that it is already a pleasure. The bouquet is deep and very classy, offering up a classical and quite sappy blend of red and black cherries, nutskin, cigar wrapper, a fine base of limestone, a touch of new oak and a gentle topnote of menthol. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and still fairly primary in personality, with a rock solid core of fruit, excellent soil signature, moderate tannins, tangy acids and excellent focus and grip on the very long and classy finish. In magnum, this is still a puppy, but in bottle, I suspect it might be starting to stir from hibernation. (Drink between 2025-2080) (2019)
