Note di degustazione
All new oak – they did not have money for new oak before this. Deep browning garnet. Smells fresher and a little more leafy than the 1995, mulch, less-ripe fruit and a little less multi-perfumed, so fresh but with lovely mushroom intensity. Lighter than the 1995, more refined in texture but not better than 1998. Mouth-watering finish. Real seductive beauty. (JH)

The undisputed leader from the Cotes de Bourg appellation, Roc de Cambes continues to turn out delicious, chocolate-scented and flavored wines. I had a magnum of 1989 at my favorite Hong Kong-styled Chinese restaurant in Washington, DC in mid-February, and it continues to sing. The dark ruby-colored 1996 Roc de Cambes offers up a sweet, mocha, chocolatey nose with ripe berry fruit in the background. Although not complex, it is soft, velvety-textured, medium to full-bodied, and a delicious, hedonistically-styled wine that should continue to drink well for 5-6 years.
