Score 89/100 · Drink 2019-2025, Neal Martin, Mar 2019

The 1996 Cuvée Jean Gautreau is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc picked between September 23 and October 8. It has an attractive blackberry and iris bouquet, flecks of truffle and smoke emerging with aeration, and displays more charm than the 1995. The plush but not overbearing palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a neat line of acidity and a subtle touch of spice on the finish. Tasted at the vertical tasting at Sociando-Mallet.
