1996 | Domaine des Lambrays | Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

This release is from 1996, an outstanding year for Burgundy, which produced a large crop of extremely healthy grapes, with excellent acidity and deep colour.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The spice- and black, stony, fruit-scented 1996 Clos des Lambrays possesses lovely freshness to its otherwise rich and flavorful character. It saturates the palate with roasted blackberry flavors, cumin, juniper berries, and cigar box-like flavors. This medium to full-bodied, structured, and complex wine also offers an admirably long and well-focused finish.

• Burghound: Sweet, beautifully nuanced aromas of red fruits, minerals and a touch of earth that give way to medium weight flavors that could have written the book on finesse and refinement. There is fine length and nice richness all supported by moderate tannins and slightly elevated acidity.
