Château Simone rouge 1996 stands out today for its remarkable poise, benefiting from a cool vintage that gives it superb energy after nearly thirty years of aging. Its melted substance releases delicate notes of violet, black plum, and a touch of graphite, supported by polished tannins of great finesse. It is a great Palette wine that has reached an ideal plateau of maturity, where the freshness of age combines with a texture of elegant serenity.
