Score 86/100 · Drink 2000-2012, Robert Parker, Apr 1999
After years of uninspiring performances, Olivier's vineyards, crowned by one of the region's most gorgeous medieval moated chateaux is beginning to fashion elegant, stylish, richly fruity wines. The 1996 is a soft, medium-bodied wine with a moderate display of red and black currants, adequate acidity, and sweet tannin. Although not a big wine, it is well-constructed and harmonious. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2012.

About the producer

Olivier
Ch. Olivier is one of the few actual castles in Bordeaux – coming with a moat and drawbridge. Since Alexandre de Bethmann took over here in 2012, the château has been given a new lease of life, with quality on the rise.
