TN: 1995 Ch. La Tour de By

This modest Medoc cru bourgeois outdid itself as it often does. Earthy fruit drive nose, good structure, excellent dark fruit on palate and medium long finish. I expect that it would show less well from a different vintage but this one is long lived and perfect right now if properly cellared (my cellar is on the cool side).

Pretty great result for a merely "modest" 28 year old Medoc. Is that your "first of a case", as seems so often the case?

A 1982 LTdB was actually still chugging along a couple years ago.

Sadly not - it was in fact the last of a half case I cellared.
