  The 1996 Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection is slightly lighter than the muscular 2002 next to it, though still very enjoyable and well balanced. Smokey minerals, ripe apricot fruits and generous autolytic nose. Full bodied with good acidity and zingy citrus fruits on the mid-palate. Drink now to 2034. (87/100)
