Depth and precision define 1996 Château Margaux, a profoundly Cabernet-driven wine that layers dense blackcurrant, plum and licorice with hints of tea, sandalwood and floral lift, all wrapped in ultra-fine, perfectly tuned tannins. Powerful yet remarkably graceful, it glides across the palate with a long, perfumed finish that confirms its status as one of the landmark Left Bank wines of the decade.
