Château Lafite-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé

A word on the vintage: The growing season was excellent in 1996, with optimal conditions for the grapes. August was tough, cold, and rainy; drenching the winemakers' spirits. Fortunately the sun came back in September: these are the three phases of this vintage which produced this rich, dense, structured, and complex wine. Certain enthusiasts find that the "96" evokes the elegance of 1953, and the power of 1959: this vintage lives up to its high praise, and can be cherished for ages!
