Blind. After two bottles of Amoureuses from this vintage earlier this month, the BM tastes very very different. Great acidity, lacy purple fruit, some meatiness and lots of smoke, just delicious. But nobody was guessing 1996! 94+

Nose: wet earth, violet, forest floor, grassy, newspaper Notes: I believe this is a little corked unfortunately and I cannot help but mourn this disastrous situation.

Probably not in the best condition. Lovely on the nose, with plenty of fruit and spice. Slightly metallic on the palate. Quite high acidity and a little rustic, showing the vintage characteristics.

La Paulée de Los Angeles Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Small glass. So much here, but barely accessible and so backward. Not the right time/place?

Slight cork taint made this undrinkable for me and dried out the finish.
