I have some 95 Bordeaux that are still pretty tannic. Last night, had a 95 Monbousquet that was very nice.

Not too heavy, nice balance of fruit and tannin, some sediment in the bottle. Delicious with grilled sirloin and fresh squash casserole.

If you have 95s from St Emilion, good time to check them out.

I'm sure your familiar with the 1998 vintage of this wine - This is the vintage that I most admired from them ( tasted 1998 - 2003)

Darrell-

How is the '98 drinking now? I have a case, haven't tried one yet. Sounds like you've had some, should I dive in?

If you haven't cracked open a bottle yet - Please do! I tried a bottle of the 1998 in 2002 and then another one in 2004. Drinking absolutely delicious now, but still can go many years!
