94 Points

Wednesday, April 8, 2015 - Really starting to open up and show what it has. This was undrinkable for about 15 years and now is very beautiful. Chocolate, cedar, licorice, black fruit, maybe a hint of cinnamon. Will drink well for a long time.

This was opened at a Las Cases vertical along with the 75, 83, 86, 89, 90, 94, 00 and 03. Didn't take notes on every one but the winners were the 75 (astonishingly vibrant and put together), the 86 (classic Las Cases, and this 96. The 00 was completely closed down and the 03 surprisingly open. The value proposition was the 94 which was drinking very nicely and is quite affordable if you can find it.
