The tasting note for 1995 Chateau Faugeres St Emilion Grand Cru Classe is from Robert Parker - Dark ruby/purple-colored with a smoky, sexy nose of black cherry fruit, licorice, vanillin, and spice, this medium-bodied, elegant yet flavorful, mouthfilling St.-Emilion possesses excellent depth and fine overall balance. The long finish exhibits some tannin, but overall this is an accessible, up-front claret to consume over the next 7-8 years. It is also a reasonably good value. A sleeper.
