Fieuzal's dry white is one of the stronger efforts from the 1996 vintage. It exhibits a smoky lavishly wooded nose with attractive sweet fruit. The wine possesses high acidity but the requisite richness and creaminess in its texture to hold up to the wine's structure. It should close down and need 5-7 years of cellaring. Although leaner and less opulent than the top vintages of Fieuzal it is one of the vintage's successes. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012. Last tasted 3/97</P>
