1996 Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg Echézeaux Grand Cru

This wine is dark ruby-colored and displays earth-dusted scents of violets and red currants. This highly elegant wine is medium-to-full-bodied, velvety-textured, and has a tightly wound character that with aeration blossomed, displaying immense power, concentration, and ripeness of fruit. Its flavor profile is filled with cherries, blackberries, and blueberries that linger throughout its admirable finish. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2007. A Peter Vezan Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-65-42-93).
