First a disclaimer: this bottle could improve in the future and merit a better review. Based on its current state, it shows far too much of a new style for my taste: lower acidity, over-extracted, slightly high sensation of alcohol. It doesn't have the elegance and balance that you would expect from this climat. In stark contrast to the 1996 wine from Girardin that I opened the previous week... There clearly is enough substance that it could develop favorably in the future, but I don't expect it.
