88 points -- Very clean, elegant and pure white flower aromas that have arrived at full maturity complement the crisp, detailed and precise middle weight flavors that are perhaps a hair light in the middle but otherwise beautifully long and the overall impression is finer than this wine usually is. The racy acidity will permit the '96 Clavoillon to hold at this level for years. Multiple, and consistent, notes
