Scoring 92/100 Parker points this amazing wine is "Typically dark and densely pigmented with no sign of browning at the edge, this big, intense, concentrated, still tannic wine has at least a decade of life left in it. The fragrant bouquet offers up scents of cedar, oriental spices, and fruitcake. It is very rich, deep, and long on the palate, with masses of ripe black fruits. An opulent beauty!"

Chateau Lafite 1996 1ere Grand Cru Classe Paulliac
Scoring 100/100 Parker points, this red wine from one of Bordeaux's most famous vineyards is "unquestionably this renowned estate's greatest wine. As I indicated last year, only 38% of the crop was deemed grand enough to be put into the final blend, which is atypically high in Cabernet Sauvignon (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot). This massive wine may be the biggest, largest-scaled Lafite I have ever tasted. It will require many years to come around, so I suspect all of us past the age of fifty might want to give serious consideration as to whether we should be laying away multiple cases of this wine. It is also the first Lafite-Rothschild to be put into a new engraved bottle (designed to prevent fraudulent imitations). The wine exhibits a thick-looking, ruby/purple color, and a knock-out nose of lead pencil, minerals, flowers, and black currant scents. Extremely powerful and full-bodied, with remarkable complexity for such a young wine, this huge Lafite is oozing with extract and richness, yet has managed to preserve its quintessentially elegant personality. This wine is even richer than it was prior to bottling. It should unquestionably last for 40-50 years. The wine of the vintage? Drink 2012 – 2050. This wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden box at no additional cost.
