92 WA. "This wine was performing incredibly well when I tasted it in January, 1997. The saturated purple color possesses an opaque middle. The aromatics deliver a blast of mineral-scented, pure, exotic, jammy black currant, and licorice-scented fruit. Ripe, rich, sweet, and opulent, this medium to full-bodied, structured, moderately tannic wine is crammed with pure layers of fruit. Impressively-endowed, the 1995 is the finest La Fleur de Gay since the 1989 and 1990." Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition, Jan 1998 |
