Tasting notes
Revealing a dark color and a deep, floral, gamey, and kirsch-infused nose, this wine is special. This offering's medium-to-full-bodied, velvety-textured, powerful, and highly-structured personality has mouth-coating wild blueberries, brambleberries, blackberries, earth, sauteed mushrooms, roasted herbs, and Asian spices. The firm but beautifully ripe tannins found in its extremely long finish will require patience. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2009. This are 1996s not to be missed! Bravo! to Christophe Perrot-Minot.
