Château Margaux 1996
Margaux, 1er cru classé
Lot 96 with one damaged capsule. Lots 86 to 93; good appearance. Lots 94 to 97 some slightly bin-soiled labels, some creased, one damaged in lot 95. Levels: base of neck or better
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 **(***) Now-2030. MB
