The nose is just starting to take on some development with notes of smoke and decaying leaves. The fruit is of the black persuasion and there's a suggestion of licorice in the mouth. It has a rigid graphite spine and plenty of meat and blood. The vintage's tangy acidity punctuates the finish.

brief note from memory. PNP. cork soft but sound. color dark garnet. nose is mostly sous bois w dark cherry notes. on palate this is lush and smooth w great balancing acidity to keep the fruit on point. long polished finish. sad to see the bottom of this bottle!

Clearing on the rim light ruby color,watery with less body ,no nose to speak of a dissapointment .Rovanni and the importer N Berkley sang the high praises of this wine @125.00 a joke.For 1996 red burgundy should have been better!Table wines show more stuff than this.80 POINTS FOR THE LABEL.

Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Showing far more age than expected, surprising since the problem with most 96s tend to be too much structure. Drink up, not particularly interesting.
