Note di degustazione
Michel Rolland era (1995-2002).Very dark ruby with only a tiny bit of age. Mellow Margaux nose that has real development, perfume and ripeness without excess sweetness. Quite a bit of acidity and structure but a very serious wine that still has quite a bit to give. (JR)

Very weedy, leafy, dried herb notes compete with sweet strawberries and red currants in this fragrant, light to medium-bodied wine, which exhibits good ripeness but not a lot of depth or intensity. It is atypical for the vintage and therefore best drunk over the next 4-6 years. Last tasted, 3/01.
Subtle and complex aromas of black licorice, cedar and currant. Full-bodied, with very good silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Very pretty.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. 21,000 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007
Medium ruby-colored with a leafy, dried tobacco, red currant, and berry-scented nose, this 1996 displays good ripeness, spicy new oak, and a forward, juicy style. It is not a powerful, backward 1996, but rather, a stylish, open-knit claret for consuming over the next 10-12 years. Apr 1999, www.robertparker.com
Informazioni sul produttore
After 50 years under the direction of the Lichine family, this leading Margaux estate entered a new chapter in 1999 when négociant Ballande took the reins, continuing the property’s previous upward trajectory.
