1996 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, France (3) 94/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider 1996 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2019 Even at 22 years of age, this needs either another 5 years in the cellar, or 2 hours in the decanter before the cassis, cedar chest, burnt wood, cherry and tobacco notes emerge. The wine is full bodied, concentrated, masculine and a bit stern. There is also a muscular, refined quality to the tannins that is hard to miss. This is a super example, of a textbook Pauillac wine. With luck, I will hold on to my last few bottles for another decade or so. I would not be surprised to see this drinking well at 40 years of age. Perfectly stored since purchase in a specially built temperature controlled wine room
