1996 Château Margaux

Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Sunday, May 12, 2024 - Decanted ca. 1hr before consumption. Wonderful notes of mint menthol, and earthy tones. Tobacco, smoke and truffle also came through. Beautiful well integrated tannins. Relatively secondary and tertiary, with relatively limited showing of fruit, but very sophisticated, and very enjoyable. Clearly outshone the ‘89 Montrose consumed side by side. May have opened up with more time. Will be interested to follow my other bottle of this over an evening and not in a dinner setting.
