Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Red-ruby. Explosive, multifaceted aromas of cherry, raspberry, tobacco, smoke, flowers, mint and earth. Thick but lively and delineated; the most intensely flavored of these '96s to this point. Bracing balancing acidity. Gives a peppery sensation of extract. Extremely long, subtle finish, with the firm tannins supported by sheer material. I'd love to taste this wine alongside the Michel Esmonin version a decade from now.
