The 1995s have been given more exposure to new oak casks (ranging from 5-10% to as much as 50% new oak) than the 1994s. The wines reveal the riper, sweeter fruit of this vintage. The superb 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape displays gobs of black-raspberry, black-cherry, and herb-tinged fruit, good fat and glycerin, lofty alcohol, and a ripe, chewy, structured finish. The wine is intensely concentrated, and obviously made from low yielding, old vines. It will be accessible young yet keep for 10-15+ years.This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996.None of the 1994 and 1995 wines reviewed in this section had yet been bottled, but since they are bottled barrel by barrel, with no fining or filtration, the notes should be relatively reflective of the different qualitative levels.
