1995 Chateau Montrose St. Estephe Bordeaux France
Since the 1989 vintage, Chateau Montrose has been one of Bordeaux’s brightest stars. The 1995 Montrose confirms this. Here’s a terrific St. Estephe that is atypically forward and user-friendly (due in large part to a higher percentage of Merlot in the blend), but still has the capacity to age for 20-plus years.
Price: $75,00

1995 Chateau Petrus Pomerol Bordeaux France
Petrus is a masterpiece of a wine that beguiles the senses with a complex array of alluring scents and flavors. This wine is made from 95 percent Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, but forget about Merlot producing soft, supple, approachable wines. The 1995 Petrus is an extraordinary, rich, concentrated, and backward wine that deserves 5-40 years in a temperature-controlled cellar. Limited availability.
Price: $1,00

1995 Dom. Taupenot-Merme Morey-St. Denis Burgundy France
A shining star of Pinot Noir, well aged and ready for the table, this will turn anyone not yet enamored of Pinot Noir into a devotee. Soft, silky, and utterly delicious, this is one not to miss. Rarely do you get such a sure thing in Burgundy.

1995 Friggiali Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany Italy
The more modern approach to Brunello di Montalcino offers sweeter, riper fruit with nuances of new oak, yet is still firm and powerfully tannic. This Friggiali Brunello from the outstanding 1995 vintage is a terrific example.
Price: $59,95

1995 Gaja Barolo Sperss Piedmont Italy
Barolo, typically longer-lived than its "little brother" Barbaresco, is prized for its richness and complexity. Angelo Gaja has never been shy about pricing his wines, but at least this wine delivers in an equally big way.
Price: $169,95

1995 Gaja Barolo Sperss 3 L Piedmont Italy
Angelo Gaja is best known for producing magnificent, age-worthy Barbarescos from Piedmont in northern Italy. Beginning with the 1988 vintage, he added this Barolo to his portfolio. Sperss is Piedmontese for profound longing or nostalgia. The 30-acre vineyard is considered one of the finest in the Barolo appellation. Packed with dense, dark-berried fruits, anise, earth, and spice, this age-worthy bottle should not be approached until 2015 and will be magnificent through 2030.
Price: $850,00

1995 Gaja Barolo Sperss 5 L Piedmont Italy
Five liter bottles are a rare commodity indeed, even more so when filled with precious juice such as this Barolo from the Sperss vineyard. Sperss means profound longing or nostalgia and this site is one of the finest in the appellation. Produced from low yields and retaining the taut acidity and burly tannins for which Barolo is known, this beauty needs a profoundly long time of 20-40 years before it should be opened and savored.
Price: $1,00

1995 Hubert Lignier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru 'Vieilles Vignes ' Burgundy
Lignier's wines are superbly balanced with ripe fruit and firm tannins. This lovely Morey St. Denis ‘Vieilles Vignes' (old vines) is produced from vineyards averaging more than 40 years old. As is the case with many outstanding '95 red Premier Cru Burgundies, this wine will drink best in three to six years, and should hold for an additional five years.
Price: $85,00

"Auslese" wines tend to be intensely fruity and fairly sweet with crisp, balanced acidity. Those from great vintages can age for over a decade. The GK, or "gold capsule," designates a special barrel selection of higher quality.
Price: $75,00
