Big, strong, muscular wine with a touch of feminine side. Not sweet, but has some baking spices, plum, dark fruit and a bit lush. Drinking right in the pocket, but wouldn't wait too long. Not a lot of structure to hold it together long term. Very good. Full wine.

Caramel, a bit of baked apple. Sweet. Still on the young side, could use more age. I'd say this is a teenager of a wine. Powerful with great potential.

Yum. Grippy black fruit, coffee, green pepper, cedar, a big splash of acid especially on the finish. Dark fruit, light profile. Great age, fully mature. Drink now to 2028.

There wasn't a lot going on. Have you found the '96 to be a wine readier for drinking? I've only one bottle of the '96 and I'd hate it to go the route of the '95 (which seemed like it needed another 5-10 yrs). Thanks in advance for the input.
Cheers,
Marc
