Wine was a bit cloudy but did not detract from what was in the glass. On the nose this was incredible - violets, blue and red berries, richness and spices. On the palate this was soft and supple. 96 acid was perfectly in balance and in fact this wine was delicate and feminine yet its flavor profile was profound. 94-95 points. At peak.

Floral nose with candied fruit, spice, and sweet red fruit. Extracted style that really opens up with time. A dense and powerful Les Amoureuses in its early part of the drinking window. 92+

I can really taste the vineyard in this wine especially on the finish which kicks into a second gear with a lovely core of medicinal cherry fruit and complex minerals and spices. Fairly full-bodied and possesses some of the firmness of the vintage. Also, it doesn't quite have the silkin texture of some of the best producers of this great vineyard but the fruit here is superb and it is classic Amoureuses in its flavor profile.

Cloudy appearance. Fragrant nose, a little musty but with copious berry and spice notes shining thru. The palate is sweet, resolved and showing little of the acidity that one normally sees from 1996. Excellent silky palate and very elegant. Very fine.

Decanted for 4 hours. Very alluring nose of dusty roses and spice. Pretty silky palate, shows some firm acidity but drinks very well.
