Sapphire.  In a vertical the ’96 stands out as distinctive and inferential: nothing’s really leafing out yet but everything wanting to.  Purple lilac and rose hips and russet associations.  Intricate sublimity in dew form and the finish shimmers like a blue moon rising.  Only 590 bottles produced in ’96.  Now – 2025+.
