The elegant 1995 Vendimia Seleccionade reveals a deep ruby/purple color, well-integrated new oak, and a Pomerol-like lushness and sensuality. It reveals copious quantities of blackberries, cherry liqueur, toasty new oak, and spice. A rich, low acid, plush, internationally-styled wine, it should drink well for a decade.

This powerful red is nearly black in color, with great concentration on the palate, yet no clumsiness. The complex flavors range from plum to coffee to black olive to exotic spices; the tannins are muscular yet ripe, the finish clean and long.
