Château Margaux--Vintage 1996
Margaux, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: An outstanding wine and, as so often, a joy to taste from the start. A high percentage (85 of Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc. Totally different style to the '95, leaner, spicy, taut fruit, finesse. Good nose, dumb at first but developed lovely fragrance; good flavour and length but tannic and unready. Last tasted June 2003 **(***) 2010-2030. MB
