After dumping a corked 97 vintage of the same I upgraded to the 96. Glad I did. Dark and murky, almost opaque. With air this goes bing cherry and spice. Notes of black cherry, pepper spice, wood, earth and a little mocha. Masculine. Shows that 96 acidity and some pucker. But it’s up against a big core of fruit that’s powerful as well. Long finish. This can probably improve with more age but is nice tonight.

Dark tawny. Funky nose, maybe a flaw. Rich masculine wine. Oak heavy nose. The flaw mostly dissipated over the night to reveal kirsch and cherry notes. This didn’t show as well as some other 96 Jadots that I’ve checked in on recently.

A bit more open knit than I'd have thought, but tasty.

Showing well tonight...shocked at how much more giving this was next to the Cros...velvety red fruits and baking spice with a bit of muscle made me initially think this was a chambolle

Drinking beautifully but as a 96 BM I would have thought it was tighter and more pulled together. Starting to evolve into secondary flavored and cloudier than I would have thought.
