1995 Tirecul La Graviere

I have applauded recent efforts of this estate, which goes to unprecedented lengths as well as labor to produce the most amazing sweet wines I have ever tasted. Their two new vintages include a perfect 1995 Cuvee Madame and a totally profound regular cuvee of 1995 Monbazillac. The latter wine was produced from yields of under 2 tons per acre. The 1995 Monbazillac exhibits a deep golden color, an orange marmalade, tropical fruit-scented (pineapple and coconut) nose, super-extracted, awesomely rich, pure, and well-delineated flavors, full body, an unctuous texture, and dazzling length. This amazing wine should evolve for 15-20 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
