Had this at the VC Rocks at Equinox Event on 3/29/03. This was served with the lamb course I believe.
This was a nice light-medium-dark, if you understand me. But this wine was pretty funky. I got the senses of tobacco, tar, moss and maybe even a little 'poo' (barnyard, brett, whatever). It was perhaps my least favorite of the night. The finish was longer than I expected. I think mfor many attendees, this was the first wine that they did not completely finish (ie it made it to the dump bucket). | |

| | Not so sure it was bad. Backwards must be it. I guess I have now experienced my first backwards wine. | |

| TJ,
Did Latour67 bring this bottle? I think it is the '96 that he has several cases of, and he kicks himself every time he goes into his cellar and sees these. He gave me a bottle and told me to be careful not to get splinters in my tongue when drinking it  . | |
Cheers, y'all | |

| Actually no, latour67 brought the 97 Ferrari-Carano Tresor. I believe a guy who is over on the WS boards, Thoth, brought it. Like ojeffso said, this is likely just a bad bottle. Happens to the best of them it seems.

| - 1996 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac (1/5/2008)
Opened and consumed without decanting over the course of 4 hours - the 96 GPL has dark fruit flavors with notes of cassis, cedar, mineral (iron) and earth with a firm tannic spine. Full bodied with a juicy mid-palate with a medium length finish with lingering dark berry flavors. Balanced, and while young, enjoyable. (90 pts.)
