Nice ruby color and pleasant earthy notes in the bouquet. Sufficent red fruit, slightly tart, vibrant acidity, with some length. Not sure this wine will improve, but it shows no signs of fading and has enough structure to go for a while.

HDH Auction Notes (Tru - Chicago, IL): I don't have much experience with Lamarche, but I found this to posses a lot of power, ripeness, and depth. It was more of a surprise that a 1996 Vosne would have this much ripe, juicy fruit but I thought the spice and florals kept everything in nice harmony. Delish pinot.

HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Very ripe and powerful with quite some spice on the nose. The palate is a bit austere and doesn't match the rich nose -- perhaps a little thin and acidic?
