1995 Beaune Greves

The medium-to-dark ruby-colored Beaune Greves displays lively aromatics reminiscent of red currants and raspberries. The superb flavors of tangy cherries, strawberries and mineral notes cascade over the palate from this medium-bodied, oily-textured wine. This gem should be consumed between 1998 and 2004. As always, ratings with a score in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
