After years of uninspiring performances, Olivier's vineyards, crowned by one of the region's most gorgeous medieval moated chateaux is beginning to fashion elegant, stylish, richly fruity wines. The 1996 is a soft, medium-bodied wine with a moderate display of red and black currants, adequate acidity, and sweet tannin. Although not a big wine, it is well-constructed and harmonious. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2012.
