  Red fruit (raspberry, strawberry, cherry), nice spice, earth, slight sous bois, floral- rose, good acidity. Nice complexity. Lingering finish.

  My son's 23rd BD celebration. Had not purchased this bottle on release. Bought from a major wine shop in DC probably in the mid 2000's so can't validate the provenance.
  Cork almost broke in pieces but was able to recover it whole. Tons of sediment after standing up for a week. Very brick meniscus with a rose center mass. Reduction at first, mild mercaptans odor mostly blew off after an hour but lingered somewhat. Fruit improved commensurately. A bit thin initially. The texture became more silky over time. The 2 1/2 hours it was open it changed for the better. Not a great B, but certainly adequate. Not an unsavory experience for a BD dinner.

  Definite 1996 acidity, but very decent fruit. Just right with stroganoff tonight. I wonder if this still might have improvement left in it.

  Significantly better than the previous bottles opened a few years ago. Solid red. Tannins are light, but there's good acidity and a solid spice component. This is what the 1996s are supposed to be. For good bottles, years of life left, but drinking extremely well right now.
