Robert Parker rated this a 95 out of 100.  "A wine of extraordinary intensity and accessability, the 1995 Cos d'Estournel is a sexier, more hedonistic offering than the muscular, backward 1996.   Opulent, with forward aromatics (gobs of black fruits intermixed with toasty pain grill scents and a boatload of spice), this terrific Cos possesses remarkable intensity, full body, and layers of jammy fruit nicely framed by the wine's new oak.  Because of low acidity and sweet tannin, the 1995 will be difficult to resist young, although it will age for 2 to 3 decades.  Anticipated maturity: 2001-2025."

"94 out of 100... Gorgeous blackberry, toasted oak, Indian spice and light sweet tobacco on the nose.  Full bodied, with silky tannins and a caressing texture.  Pretty and refined.  Holding back.  Give it time-'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective.  Best after 2008"
