Score 86/100 · Drink 2007, Robert Parker, Apr 1999
This is one of the most successful wines made by this reliable Cru Bourgeois. Usually dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon (about 70%), the 1996 reveals plenty of new oak. Obviously made from ripe fruit, this dense, chewy, minty, cassis-scented and flavored wine is a sleeper of the vintage. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
