Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1996
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
The climate of 1996 was most characterised by its great irregularity. Except for a few days in July, there were no long periods. It began to rain rather late in August. The first half of September was temperate but it rained all the time during the second half. Altogether the summer was average with a few nice intervals.
Tasting note:
Soft black cherry; nose packed with fruit; whiff of raspberries, harmonious; loverly flesh and texture, soft, sweet, richness masking tannin. Prefered to the '95. Last tasted Dec 2006 **(**). Now-2020. MB
