Score 85-86/100 · Drink 2001-2012, Robert Parker, Feb 1998

Performing better than its older sibling, the 1995, Lilian Ladouys' 1996 reveals a deep ruby color, and earthy, mineral, cherry, and blackcurrant aromas with oaky notes in the background. This medium-bodied, tannic wine comes across as well-balanced, monolithic, and generally well-made and ageworthy. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2012.
