1996 Jacques Prieur Musigny Grand Cru Burgundy France
This 1996 Musigny is a powerful, ripe, multi-layered wine with oodles of dark berry fruit, toasty oak, and an extremely long finish. Drink now if you wish, but the wine will be at its best from 2003-2010.
Price: $299,95

1996 La Viarte Liende White Colli Orientali del Friuli Italy
La Viarte has taken regional grape varieties and not-so-regional varieties such as Chardonnay and Picolit from its estate vineyards, to create a finely etched, resonant wine that will change your mind forever about "white blends."
Price: $18,00

1996 Les Forts de Latour Pauillac Bordeaux
This is surprisingly concentrated and complex for a ‘second' wine -- but maybe not so surprising given that it is Chateau Latour's second. Latour, after all, is the most massive and backward of all the chateau. The 1996 Les Forts is still quite young and tight, so cellar it for 8 to 15 years.
Price: $89,95

1996 Louis Latour Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Burgundy France
Latour is one of the finest and largest landholders in the exceptional Corton Charlemagne vineyard. This great Grand Cru site typically displays powerfully flavored fruit with a stony-minerally quality and a fabulous, rich texture. Latour's 1989 Corton Charlemagne is an outstanding wine only now at its peak of perfection. Like the '89 at a comparable stage, Latour's '96 Corton Charlemagne is a remarkable effort that's only just beginning to show its full potential. Cellar worthy for 5 to 10 years.
Price: $98,00

1996 Luce della Vite Tuscany Italy
Luce is a joint venture between the Robert Mondavi Winery of Napa Valley and the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi in Tuscany. Their shared goal is to produce a world-class Italian red like Opus One. Luce is based on equal parts of Sangiovese and Merlot. The wine has good concentration of ripe berry, herb, and earth, and soft, velvety tannins. Enjoy now and over the next five years.
Price: $65,00

1996 Lurton Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Burgundy France
Corton-Charlemagne is a big wine, a robust wine, and even a monumental wine. Jacques and Francois Lurton have crafted somthing wonderous in this 1996 triple-A, super-premium, top-of-the-charts Chardonnay. Rare yet quite approachable.
Price: $79,95

1996 Matthews Cellars Cabernet Blend
This Bordeaux-style blend shows off Washington's two best red grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a little Cab Franc. Why choose when you can get them all in one glass? Stellar stuff.
Price: $42,00

1996 Oddero Barolo Rionda Piedmont Italy
Rionda translates to "round" and Oderro's Barolo vineyard rows are tucked within a circular hillside cove. This wine is tenacious, structured, and built to last 15 years or more. Only 700 cases produced.
Price: $59,95

1996 Pavillon Rouge du Ch. Margaux Bordeaux France
Chateau Margaux consistently produces an excellent second wine known as Pavillon Rouge. Each year approximately half the production is bottled under this label and spends a minimum of 18 months in French oak barrels, half of which are new. The 1996 Pavillon Rouge presents the same ripe cassis, vanilla, smoke, and spice notes you’ll find in the first growth, but this is a supple, finessed wine meant for drinking over the next 5-8 years.
Price: $65,00

|
1996 Pertinace Barbaresco Piedmont Italy
This Barbaresco is a noble, dry, and somewhat austere red wine with wonderful complexity, structure, and balance. Unlike many brutally backward and tannic Barbarescos, this modern-style Pertinace may be savored now.
Price: $44,00
