As I continue to monitor my 1995 Bordeaux, tried a botle of Mondot Saint Emillion last night.

A little astringent and tannic upon opening. Some cherry fruit, but not enough to balance the tannins. Balanced out somewhat after being open 3 hours or so (while some was used in the braising liquid for lamb shanks).

Final judgement: OK, but still lacking fruit. Don't know if more aging will improve, fruit fading. Somewhat stern by itself, but tasted good with a bite of lamb. A little fat in the mouth was a big improvement.

95s continue to be slow maturing.
