Bordeaux 1996 @ my place (Netherlands): Bright golden colour with an orange hue. Slightly oxidative. Lots of acid and bitterness to compensate for the abundant sweetness. Not much finesse, very concentrated. Syrupy, honey-and-thyme aromas, orangepeel. Nice and decent, that's it. 15,5/20

Beautifull golden colour, deep, think velvet texture but a disturbing element of yeast in the nose. Abricots, yellow morels, pineapple in the nose as well. Excellent concentration but same element of yeast, like wet hay having been left alone to long on a wet field. Perplexing - will this improve with age? Problably not - drink up now + 5 years.
