"The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Chabot Vineyard offers aromas and flavors of chocolate liqueur infused with brandy as well as loamy soil intermixed with damp forest, underbrush scents. Full-bodied, with massive power, and chewy, thick, structured, chocolatey fruit flavors, this is a complex yet backward, formidably-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon with palate staining levels of extract and tannin. Give it 3-4 years of bottle age, and consume it over the following two decades."
