93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 1996 Clos du Château des Ducs from the Lafarge family is a really lovely wine that is still a few years away from its plateau of peak maturity, but is blossoming nicely and now quite easy to drink. The complex nose delivers a fine aromatic constellation of black cherries, cassis, charred wood, dark soil tones and venison. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, poised and shows off lovely mid-palate depth, with moderate tannins, fine focus and grip, zesty acids and a very long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. Lovely juice that is getting tantalizingly close to its apogee. 2024-2075. (Sep/Oct 2018)"
