Enologist Francois Millet was racking the '96s for the second time in November, and a couple wines were difficult to taste. (But the Bonnes-Mares was a stunner.) Millet describes the '96s as charming and sensual, but with a tendency to close up. The grapes were large but also had reasonably thick skins. 1995, in comparison, offers more structure and power, but also great fruit. I still wonder if the wines might be even more extraordinary with a bit less handling.
