Scores and tasting notes
The medium-to-dark ruby-colored 1995 Latricieres-Chambertin is already showing hints of amber along the edge of the glass. Cedar, tangy strawberries, and herbs can be discerned in its somewhat evolved bouquet. Its personality is rustic, hard, and tannic, yet continues to show glimpses of the extraordinary concentration of fruit that marked this vintage in its infancy. Blackberries, cassis, and thick cherries can be discerned in its deep core. If its fruit expands with time this wine will be a show-stopper. If not,..... Projected maturity: 2006-2010+.
