BH 95 (10/2004): The '96 is a great example of how deceiving light color can be with fine Burgundy as this is not much darker than a typical Beaujolais yet the wine offers penetrating, lively, in fact textbook Clos des Ducs aromas of dried rose petals and sour cherries plus fresh pinot fruit of uncanny, laser-like focus. The purity here is really sensational as there is an intensely tactile impression of stones on the palate and Outstanding precision. The wine is quite structured but the structure is subtle, almost hidden as though it were simply a background nuance rather than the framework within which the rest of the components are allowed to express themselves. More obviously acidic than the '97 or '98 yet the '96 remains impeccably balanced with superb finesse and a finely wrought interplay of acid and fruit that continues into the long, silky finish. Quite simply, this is a dazzlingly good young Clos des Ducs. Consistent notes. Drink 2011+.
VM 92+ (4/1999): Aromas of cherry, licorice and nuts. The sweetest and most concentrated of these '96s, with impeccably embedded acids and tannins giving the wine superb balance and texture. This has the thrust the '97s lack. Lovely combination of backbone and flesh. Very strong wine. May well merit an even higher score with bottle aging. |

| VM 92+ (3/1999): Fresh, deep red-ruby color. Sappy, higher-pitched, very complex aromas of cassis, raspberry, minerals and game. Terrific concentration and freshness, but slow to open in the glass. Thick but lively; a floral note contributes to the wine's impression of brightness. Finishes very long and subtle, with a burst of dark berries. Premier cru with the palate presence and nobility of a grand cru. Stephen Tanzer. |

BH 93 (10/2006): High-toned aromas of pinot and strawberry fruit that are still largely primary though there are now hints of secondary development that complement the medium weight flavors where the tannins are still buried. While this is not especially dense, particularly on the mid palate, it is stunningly elegant with exceptionally good length and in particular, simply beautiful balance. This can be approached now with pleasure though it should continue to improve for another 4 to 6 years. Drink: 2010+
WA 91-93 (8/1998): This dark-colored wine has malty black cherry scents and a broad-shouldered, masculine, highly-structured (verging on tannic) character. Its chewy texture offers loads of sweetened and creamed blackberries, violets, and earth. This wine coats the mouth with copious quantities of fine tannins that, in time, will easily be overcome by this impressive offering's dense fruit. Drink it between 2005 and 2010+.
WS 88 (9/1998): Rich and elegant, with raspberry flavors and a sinewy structure dominated by dry tannins. Best after 2005. |

WA 88-90 (8/1998): Revealing roses and persimmons on the nose, this medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine offers a medium-to-full-bodied, silky-textured, and elegant character with sweet and tangy cherry flavors. This well-defined and harmonious wine is a delicious, well-crafted, and excellent offering that will provide immensely pleasurable drinking over the near term. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2005.
VM 87-89 (3/1998): Black cherry, chocolate and herbs on the nose. Sweet, fruity and agreeable, with moderate depth and lovely balance. An easy-to-taste wine. |

| WA 89-91 (8/1998): This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine offers rich and plump red fruits intermingled with fresh herbs and stones on the nose. Gorgeous layers of sweet black cherries, violets, and cassis are wed to flavors of chocolate chip cookie dough in this seductive, medium-to-full-bodied, luscious and delicious wine. Drink it between 2002 and 2007. The Vine (3/1998): Not a Jadot vinification. Fresh, ripe, quite firm. Very rich and succulent. I prefer the vigour and masculinity here to the above. Long and intense at the end. Very fine. From 2004. |

Clos de Tart Grand Cru (1.5 L) Signs of Old Seepage |

| BH 89 (3/2013): I have had two distinctly different experiences with this wine. The most recent example was notably better than the first as it displayed none of the acidic dryness of the first and while, like most '96s, the flavors are not especially dense, there was excellent depth, length and overall balance. Moreover there was a really lovely perfumed and highly complex character to the nose. An excellent Clos de Tart and one that has basically arrived at its peak. For those who might be interested to read how the first bottle performed, please see the big Clos de Tart Progress Report that appeared in Issue 37. Drink Now+. |

| WA 91 (10/2005): Earthy, relatively elegant nose of dark fruits and a touch of underbrush merges with medium weight, nicely precise, punchy flavors of good depth and extract if not necessarily great density or power. This is a relatively elegant wine of obvious class and only a touch of the youthful aggressiveness and austerity of young Clos Vougeot. I would suggest holding this for another 3 to 5 years and drinking up over the next 10. |
