Jean-Nicolas Meo describes '96 as "between '90 and '93 in style." The grape sugars were in the high 12.5% range for the crus, like '90, but the '90s were riper and sweeter, Meo explains. And the color of '96 is darker than '95 and almost as dark as '93, a vintage he describes as having "maximum color." The '96 vintage is "at least very good; it will be approachable soon, but should have very good aging potential." Meo '95s, quite rich in extract thanks in part to extremely low yields, were closing down following bottling in early spring, but their high quality was apparent in November. I may have slightly underrated these wines a year ago from barrel.
