The fruity, soft, lush 1995 Negre is a silky-textured, medium-bodied wine with plenty of peppery, black cherry fruit, good glycerin, and an easy-going finish. It is meant to be drunk over the next several years. By the way, a more expensive 1991 Cartoxia Gran Reserva was pleasant, but less fresh and fruity.
