When you write your own wine reviews, and your readers get them for free without having to do any work or pay a single penny, you do get some lee-way as to how you run your site. I am going to take that free reign to describe the 1995 La Dominque. First, read all the nice things I said about the 1990 and 1998 La Dominues here in these VinoCritic archives. When you're done, read the more mediocre review I gave to the 1999 La Dominique. Take these good and the mediocre reviews, come up with a relative average of the two, and you have the 1995. The wine is velvety smooth, but is fading a bit and losing it's punch. No off-putting flavors, just a little light on the mouth compared to the 1998 and 1990. Was this review a cop-out? Probably. But you get what you paid for, and you guys didn't pay a cent!
3.5 stars.
