Friday, March 18, 2011 - Glengarry Old Wines Dinner (Auckland, New Zealand): I may be slightly over-rating this wine, but it is a beautiful example of a Medoc from the 1996 vintage. It has wonderful poise and lovely balance. Extremely elegant and still tight. This wine convinces on this proportion rather than mass. This is drinkable now but I imagine it will continue to gain nuance in the years to come. Outstanding medium weigh bordeaux.
