Tried two different bottles of 1995 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou... this wine continues to be closed, with one of the bottles slightly more open than the other - though when I tried them, one had been open for 1/2 hour, the other 3 hours. The wine is dominated by tannin, with hints of sweet fruit. My question is - is the wine simply still closed down (a lot of 1995s are still closed), or is the wine simply tannin-dominated and the fruit will never come out... only time will tell. WS WOTY in 1998, I believe.
Had a bottle of 2005 Dr. Burklin Wolf Estate Riesling... nice, just a tiny hint of sugar... pretty with loads of minerals... nice, needs a little time. Incredible value... the 2004 Chateau de Sancerre was pretty... very rich with tons of minerals, grapefruit pulp (the white part of the fruit), and lemongrass... nice and herbal.
