Château Cissac 1996 is a distinguished Cru Bourgeois from the Haut-Médoc, crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. In its youth, this wine exhibited a dense, opaque purple-crimson hue. The nose, though initially closed, revealed fragrant notes of sweet blueberry fruit, aromatic violet scents, and subtle meaty undertones. On the palate, it offered rich blackberry flavours complemented by very drying tannins and hints of vanilla. As the wine has matured, these elements have harmoniously integrated, resulting in a medium-bodied profile with refined tannins and a lingering finish. The 1996 vintage is now at its peak, showcasing the elegance and complexity characteristic of well-aged Bordeaux
