Note di degustazione
This vineyard near both Cheval Blanc and La Dominique has turned in an exemplary performance in 1996. A blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, it boasts a dark ruby/purple color, as well as a sweet nose of black currants intermixed with licorice, toasty new barrel aromas, and smoked herbs. Medium-bodied, rich, ripe, and hedonistically styled, this wine was made from low yields, enjoyed an impeccable elevage, and was bottled without filtration. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2014.
