Labled Grand Cru of Saint-Emilion section of Bordeaux.  In many magazines and wine review sites, 1996 is rated as the 2nd best season in the last 100 years. This is Bordeaux’s oldest recognized wine growing region.  Hopefully to cellar until 2016

A gift from a friend.  Rated on sites as ready to drink in 2004.  Have not located any recent news on it.  Still in my cellar in 2009.  Current price $7.00-$100.00
