A sleeper of the vintage, Lanessan's 1996 boasts an impressively saturated dark ruby/purple color, and knock-out aromatics of melted chocolate, asphalt, and cassis. Deep, rich, and medium-bodied, with excellent concentration and purity, this impressively-endowed, flavorful, well-structured wine.
該酒採用赤霞珠、梅洛、品麗珠和味而多混釀,在可控溫的混凝土發酵罐中發酵,散發著煙熏的氣息,優雅複雜,口感飽滿,有肉感,伴有櫻桃、黑醋栗、香料和礦物質的風味,單寧豐富且成熟,結構良好,餘味悠長。
