1996 Chateau Leoville-Barton St. Julien Bordeaux France
A marvelous second-growth Bordeaux with fine concentration and complexity, the 1996 is 72 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 percent Merlot, and 8 percent Cabernet Franc. This is a blockbuster with huge, dark berry fruit, earth, spice, and sweet oak. Be patient, give it at least 6-7 years before opening, and cellar some for drinking over the next 30 years.

1996 Chateau Leoville-Las-Cases St. Julien Bordeaux France
If there were to be another first-growth Bordeaux named, most bets would be on Leoville Las Cases. This chateau has been on a roll of late, as demonstrated by this profound wine from the outstanding 1996 vintage. This wine is unbelievably rich and massive, yet balanced throughout. It’s one of the top wines of the vintage, if not the decade, and should be cellared for at least 8-25 years.
Price: $225,00

1996 Chateau Lynch-Bages Pauillac Bordeaux
Lynch-Bages is a fascinating example of how a Chateau that has always been seen as dependable, if not inspired, can become a shining star. While not at the level of the First growths, a case can be made for Lynch-Bages being a second growth. This is certainly so in their best vintages. The 1996 is definitely a wine to hold and cellar for 5-10 years.
Price: $75,00
