I have to say that I agree with some of the other reviewers that there is some premox going on with this wine. Having said that, the wine has plenty of acidity and a lot going on.

This wine was serially tasted over a five-hour period at a private walk-around wine and food party. The bottle was kindly provided by Terry Geier. Medium yellow-gold robe, with a nose showing beautiful aromatics of citrus peel, white flowers, pine nuts and kiwi. Medium-bodied on the palate, with nice acidity, good minerality and a complex flavor profile consistent with the nose. The middle palate adds viscosity to the mouth feel and the finish is very long and crisp. This is a lovely '96 which, fortunately, did not fall into the "premoxed" bottle pile. Assuming that you hold bottles of this wine that don't suffer from premature oxidation, it should drink nicely for another five years. Drink now-12/15.

This wine sufferes from the 1996 white burguny curse. Deep gold in color and butterscotch through and through. Not at all oxidized, but not at all quality white burguindy.

First impression was ok but soon became clear it was border line oxidized - unfortunately like several other 95 and 96 white burgs recently........
