Note di degustazione
This isn't quite as ripe as the Rouget yet this is really lovely with an understated purity and detail that I find utterly beguiling. Like many '96s today, this is not an especially dense or powerful wine though there is good if not truly exceptionally mid-palate sap, fine intensity and incipient complexity all framed and highlighted by prominent finishing acidity. This should enjoy a long life as there is excellent balance and the essential character here is one of finesse rather than power. Multiple, and consistent, notes. Allen Meadows, Burghound Oct01,2006

This wine has a bright, dark ruby color, an enticing cherry and toasty oak-scented nose, as well as a hard, dryish, high acid, yet paradoxically rich and broad personality. It was disjointed, with well-ripened and spicy fruit in conflict with its crisp acidity. Its aromas would suggest a 90+ point score, its fruit an excellent to outstanding rating, and its balance a distressingly low score. Will it harmonize or remain awkward? Pierre Rovani-Wine Advocate # 118 Aug 1998
More reticent but bright nose currently dominated by spicy oak. Sweet and juicy in the mouth, but very closed. Seems atypically difficult to taste. "Yes, it's a very tight wine in '96," says Meo, "but it's showing better now than before the racking." Tough but very long; built rather like a Richebourg.
