Tasting note
The 1995 Les Tourelles de Longueville should lean toward cassis, tobacco leaf and cedar, with dried plum emerging as it opens. Pauillac Cabernet is expected to have a softened frame now, where mellow tannin and remaining acidity give mature fruit definition. The projected window closes in 2026, so bottle condition will shape the experience. If sound, it may finish with gentle savory spice, blackcurrant and a quiet earthy note.
