We opened this last night for dinner at a friend’s house, and it was spectacular–drinking even better than when I had last had it a couple years ago. We opened the '96 as well for comparison, and it was very weak beside the '95. Anyway, if you’ve got these, now is a stunning time to be drinking them, but they’ll go on nicely for another 5 to 7 years easily.
