1995. Not quite mature in terms of tertiary flavor, but the structure is very much resolved so it's accessible and very drinkable, not necessarily a given with this cuvee. The fruit's mellowed into a supple, mellow Rioja-like profile but instead of feeling autumnal it picks up some minty/pine needly notes, a very fresh type of green. This is a satisfying drink now but for my taste I'd want to hold it another few years and see if some meatier funk is waiting to come out of this, which I imagine isn't far around the corner
