1996 Franc Mayne

A new proprietor has vastly improved the wines of Franc-Mayne, which previously had a tendency to be blatantly vegetal. While the 1996 possesses a touch of herbs, the wine exhibits medium body, and attractive ripe red and blackcurrant fruit presented in a medium-bodied, slightly minty, forward, lush style. This wine should be ready to drink in several years, and last for a decade.
