Top 5 Reasons You Can’t Miss This Tasting
1. A Stellar Vintage
The 1996 Bordeaux vintage is widely regarded as one of the greatest of the decade, especially for the Left Bank. Expect powerful, structured, long-lived wines with deep concentration and remarkable aging potential.
2. The Star of the Show: 1996 Château Lafite Rothschild
Rarely poured, let alone blind, this legendary 100-point wine is the centerpiece of the evening. “Spectacularly powerful and rich!” - Robert Parker “Huge concentration here, but everything is in balance!” -Jane Anson
3. Can the Second Wines Rival the Grand Vin? We put Carruades de Lafite and Pavillon Rouge to the test. Are they merely more affordable alternatives, or do they carry the unmistakable signature of their famous estates? You’ll find out… blind.
4. The Pauillac UnderdogChâteau Fonbadet sits among legendary neighbors such as Mouton Rothschild, Latour, and Pichon Lalande. Can this overlooked estate hold its own against Bordeaux royalty?
5. Collect, Connect & Celebrate: Share the table with fellow wine lovers in a one-night-only journey through five estates that helped define a generation of Bordeaux.
Why This Is Exceptional Value
