Healthy red-ruby color. Cassis, minerals, cedar and a hint of molasses on the nose. Dense and delineated, with a lovely restrained sweetness. Begins slowly and really builds through the long finish. Finer than the Lynch-Bages, and very Pauillac.

Another outstanding effort from Pichon-Longueville. This is a very round 1996. Lots of red berries, leather and hints of oak. Medium to full body with a nice soft finish. Can be drank now or lay down for 2-3 years more.
