  October 13, 2018 - Super Vintages of SuperSeconds🍷 (Riga, Latvia): 🏅 Rating 95/100 (4,5🌟)
  
  Muscular but charming aromas of plum, bell pepper. Full body and concentration on the palate. Just reached its peak maturity and will shine for decades.
  
  2nd Growth Classe. Usually 35% Merlot, but '96 was 75% CS, 15% M, 5% CF, 5% PV. Fermented in steel, 20mo aging in new oak renewed every 6mo, racking every 3mo. Fining, no filtration.
  
  One of the most consistent Pauillacs irrelevant of the vintage.
  
  High portion of M results in softer, fleshy wine.
