Medium straw in color; lemon, honeydew, and grass on the nose; medium plus acidity; tastes like lemon, starfruit, and saline with a long finish. Nellie and I both like it. I think it will pair well with fish. — a month ago

Medium to dark ruby in color; black cherries, cedar, and blackberries on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, dried flowers, a hint of black pepper, and wet gravel with a long finish. I like it. — a month ago

Smooth, round and delicious, with gentle tannins and woody, plummy spice. Lovely red Bordeaux—we could dink this all night. Still balanced after 27 years but its acids seem a bit faded. I would guess that it’s at a high plateau that may be gently dipping so my daughter Rachel, who owns this wine, needs to finish the rest of her stash within the next year. The vintage of this bottle is her birth year, and we laid down a half case along with another half case of Chateau Lynch Bages. Both bottles are now soft, special treats. We enjoyed the 1996 vintage with prime steak at the Palm Restaurant in downtown LA, celebrating her graduation from UCLA Law. Congratulations, Rachel! — 5 days ago

In a wonderful spot. Decanted a couple hours which was a good call. Still some definite dusty tannins on the finish, but with food it’s a great pairing (specifically beef shank and short rib braised in wine and a lot of aromatics). Certainly Bordeaux. Quite enjoyable. Could go longer. — 4 months ago

Full on. Big and precise. Like this vintage a lot. Showing clearly a great potential.
Rose and strawberry not really obvious. Love to taste this in 15/20 years. — 25 days ago
