Chateau Margaux 1er Cru 1995 Magnum in 6er Holzkiste

Parker: On the nose, one can immediately detect the greater percentage of Merlot in the blend: more red fruits evident with touches of kirsch and cranberry, evolving a slight cooked meat aroma in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, quite backward, with firm tannins, very seductive and intense. Lovely fleshy middle redolent of the -85 with a savoury aspect embellishing the finish that has a slight semblance to a Cabernet Franc based Saint Emilion. Very intellectual - it deserves another 8-10 years in bottle. Edging closer in quality to the 1996 but a different creature. 96/100 (2008)

Falstaff: Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Randaufhellung, in der Nase animalische Anklänge, Leder, geröstete Nüsse, Vanille, vielschichtig und attraktiv, am Gaumen kraftvoll, gute Extraktsüße, die Tannine fordern noch einige Zeit, im Moment noch eine Spur zu hart, mineralisch, sehr vielverspechend. 95/100 (2004)
