...A fresh, lifted, cedary nose with excellent definition. Reserved, understated but classy. The full-bodied palate is quite toasty but fresh with good delineation. Blackberry, tar, cedar and just a faint touch of white pepper. Harmonious and focused. Very persistent finish. Excellent... Neal Martin (eRobertParker.com)

Love this wine! I called it a 96 pichon but I thought it was lalande. Nevertheless it was unmistakably 90s pauillac in every way. Beautiful wine. Makes me realize how much I love Bordeaux

1996 in magnum Older than I expected. No incursion of stains on the sides of cork. Fills high shoulder. A bit flat. I have one more hoping for better

1996 vintage. Multiple (6) bottles tasted 1hr, 2hrs and 4 hrs after decanting. Kinda brusque and pushy currently. Bruising and lacking finesse/manners. Tastes like it will go steady at this level for another 5 years or so...where it goes after that...? 4.4.23.

Classic. Awesome Bordeaux. Still on the upswing. A pleasure to smell and drink.
