The 1995 is somewhat of a sleeper, exhibiting a dense color, and rich, jammy black fruits intermingled with scents of herb, licorice, and toast. Thick chewy flavors reveal fine extraction and glycerin. This is a soft, low acid, opulent wine for drinking during the first 7-8 years after its release. A new proprietor and winemaker, Louis Mitjavile, (the son of Tertre-Roteboeuf's owner) seems destined to take this property up the qualitative ladder. All of the wines in this segment were tasted between March 19 and March 28 in Bordeaux. Most of the important wines from both the 1994 and 1995 vintages were tasted three separate times during my ten-day stay in Bordeaux.
