Mid crimson with a ruby rim. Marked evolution on the nose in low intensity. Mellow start and great lift and sweetness. A slight hint of rusty nails but overall a very nice glass of wine. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2007-2020 21 September 2011 |

Lots of blackberry, licorice and light tar aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. This needs time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Score: 91 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2008+ 01 January 2007 |

The wine is close to being outstanding, exhibiting a saturated dark ruby color, and excellent aromatics, consisting of black fruits intermixed with licorice, dried herbs, and roasted meat smells. It is full, with impressive extract, a fleshy texture, low acidity, excellent purity, and a long, deep, chewy finish. This 1996 will be drinkable at a young age, yet keep for 15-20 years. Score: 89 Robert Parker, 'Bordeaux' 4th Ed. Maturity: 2003-2017 01 April 1999 |
