Tasting note
1996 is another vintage that is a true delight. Wunderful dark purple hue. Notes of black fruit, cedar. Some smokey and on the palette with truffles, blackcurrent and wonderful fruit structures complimented with a devine tannic structure. I really enjoyed this particular wine experience. Enjoyed with Yves Beck in Twann
