Parker about Château Haut-Brion 1995
It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage that the brilliant administrator Jean Delmas handled flawlessly. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of burning wood embers intermixed with vanilla, spice box, earth, mineral, sweet cherry, black currant, plum-like fruit, medium to full body, a high level of ripe but sweet tannin, and a finish that goes on for a good 40-45 seconds. This wine is just beginning to emerge from a very closed state where it was unyielding and backward.

Château Haut-Brion 1995
Château Haut-Brion 1995 is an outstanding wine from the renowned Pessac-Léognan appellation, which impressively represents the excellent quality of this vintage.
On the nose, this wine offers a complex and seductive array of aromas of ripe dark fruits such as cassis, blackberries, and black cherries, accompanied by elegant notes of tobacco, cedarwood, truffle, and a hint of leather. These aromas are profound and harmonious, reflecting the meticulous vinification and the excellent ripeness of the grapes in the 1995 vintage.
On the palate, Château Haut-Brion 1995 displays impressive richness and structure. The tannins are ripe, fine, and velvety, giving the wine a luxurious texture and a harmonious mouthfeel. The fruit flavors are concentrated and intense, supported by a lively acidity that lends the wine freshness and balance. Nuances of dark chocolate, coffee, and a subtle mineral note contribute to the complexity and give the wine additional depth.
The finish is long, elegant, and extremely refined, with a remarkable persistence of fruit and spice notes. Château Haut-Brion 1995 is a wine of great class and elegance, already wonderfully ripe for drinking, but also possesses the potential for many more years of ageing. A truly exceptional experience for lovers of great Bordeaux wines.
