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! — 3 days ago

Dark rubi robe, nose of cedar, violets and spices, anise. Very open and accessible in the mouth, good volume and length, mineral, top soil notes. This is oh, so good. Peak drinking now but will probably stay at this level next 10 to 12 years. Our kind of claret. — 8 days ago

2020 vintage. A blend of 57,5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 4,5% Petit Verdot. Medium-bodied, with fresh cassis fruit and a tannic structure with some rough edges. Will probably benefit from a bit more bottle age. Decent value at 15 euro. Abv. 13,5%. — 23 days ago
