The dark-colored 1996 Corton-Renardes displays fresh blackberry aromas. This satin-textured wine is lively, densely packed with red/black fruits, stones, as well as herbs, and has a firm, tannic finish. Still youthfully backward, it will require a half-dozen years or more of cellaring.
Very polished and fresh, with smoky, almost baconlike aromas and cherry flavors. Moderately concentrated, with firm tannins and a suave texture. Great length and harmony.
