The finest Beausejour-Duffau since the profound 1990, the 1995 possesses a saturated dark plum/purple color, and a tight but sweet, old vine nose of kirsch, black cherries, licorice, and truffles. Medium-bodied, with high tannin, and a raspberry/cherry fruitiness, this structured, rich, medium to full-bodied, powerful, and muscular effort will need 10-12 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025. - Robert Parker 1998 -
