The 1995 Bouriquot, a 66% Cabernet Franc/34% Merlot blend, is winemaker Havens' Napa Valley imitation of Bordeaux's famed Cheval Blanc. It reveals a deep ruby/purple color, followed by big, spicy, mineral, licorice, floral-tinged, blackcurrant aromas, medium body, excellent to outstanding fruit concentration, a soft, layered palate, and a rich, moderately tannic finish. The wine needs 2-3 years of cellaring, but it should keep for 15-18 years, possibly meriting an outstanding rating.(Tasted in barrel.)Tel. (707) 257-3924
