1995 Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection Library Release

Deep garnet hues with bricking at the rim reveal the wine's mature character. Bright red and black fruit aromas like plum and red cherry mingle with rose and lilac notes, complemented by eucalyptus, anise, and a pleasant dustiness. The palate opens with red berries and tobacco, transitioning to an herby midpalate with perfectly integrated tannins. The texture is elegant and balanced, leading to a long finish laced with a touch of vanilla and mature oak spice. The wine masterfully bridges Napa Valley fruit from Sorenson Vineyard with a kind of Bordelais refinement and grace. Give this a gentle decant, as there is significant sediment from age.
