The 1996 is a wine which will go down in history for its classicism and purity. The Cabernet Sauvignon has seldom achieved such a perfection of style and such good balance. What is even rarer perhaps, is to find in a young wine, only just after its blending, the ability to impress and move us at once through the purity of its fruit, the density of its structure and the harmony of its shape. It is a dream of a Margaux.

Gorgeous berries. Tangy fruit with great purity and lift. Very fresh. Not many secondary notes yet. A little leather bit mainly fresh, gorgeous 3-D fruit

With a 2 hour 15 minute decant the wine was initially overpowering with earth, dark blackberries and blood red cherries. But as time passed the wine settled down extremely harmoniously with the same flavors albeit more muted and was drinking brilliantly around the three hour mark. It was always superbly balanced right from the start. A star!

Massive sweet tannins and fruit! Salty mineral terroir combined with red and black fruits. Exceptional. 100 across the board deservedly so.
