Bon Pasteur's 1996 is lighter than I thought from cask, which kept my score more conservative. It exhibits spicy new oak, medium body, abundant smoky, black cherry and mocha-tinged fruit, good weight, excellent purity, and a firm, structured, muscular finish.
Aromas of cherries, mushrooms and some oak. Medium-bodied, with slightly drying tannins but some pretty berry and toasted oak on the finish. A bit lean, but very good.
Very deep violet; rich in the centre. Concentrated, tight bouquet. Firm palate, again very concentrated, somewhat angular tannins, sandy extract, good length.
