Score 91/100 · Drink 2026-2028, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2026
The 1996 Collection is fully mature, judging by its deep burnished color and overall flavor profile. Orange confit, kirsch, hazelnut, spice, coffee and spice all show quite a bit of evolution. I expected to see more freshness. I would not push my luck on aging this too much further.
