1996 La Grande Rue, Domaine Francois Lamarche

This wine has deep ruby colour with quite high intensity aromas of earth, mushroom, red plum, toast, roasted herb and smoke. It is dry with medium acidity, alcohol, and fine-grained tannin. Slightly fuller than medium bodied. Barely over medium flavour intensity. Red plum, cabbage, toast and smoke. Long length with plumy and floral finish (93). Need further development, rich and concentrated yet pure.

有著精彩的香氣和複雜性，相信還有潛質發展。餘韻長而豐富，再陳年多些會更好。
