Score 91/100 · Drink 2015-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Sep 2015

More fresh and lively than the '99, the 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has classic, mature notes of orange rind, floor wax, mineral and more nuances of buttery, tropical fruits. Brighter in acidity, yet still nicely concentrated, it's drinking at point now but I suspect will evolve nicely going forward.
