Chateau Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre, Margaux, 1996
Levels 11 IN, 1 VTS, good appearance. PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 4 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY OF THIS LOT. Pale strawberry colour. Really rather rich and gamey on the nose with great life and almost Nebbiolo-like allure. The opposite of modern red bordeaux but very attractive and sweet. Extremely distinctive. No new wood and released only when judged ready to drink. Most unusual! Jancis Robinson (September 2013) JancisRobinson.com

Purchased through the Bordeaux negociant Ulysse Cazabonne and subsequently stored at LCB.
