CHâTEAU MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD--VINTAGE 1996
PAUILLAC, 1ER CRU CLASSé
TASTING NOTE: THIS ESTATE'S STAFF BELIEVES THAT THE 1996 MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD IS VERY COMPLEX. I AGREE THAT AMONG THE FIRST-GROWTHS, THIS WINE IS SHOWING SURPRISING FORWARDNESS AND COMPLEXITY IN ITS AROMATICS. IT POSSESSES AN EXUBERANT, FLAMBOYANT BOUQUET OF ROASTED COFFEE, CASSIS, SMOKY OAK, AND SOY SAUCE. THE IMPRESSIVE 1996 MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD OFFERS IMPRESSIVE AROMAS OF BLACK CURRANTS, FRAMBOISE, COFFEE, AND NEW SADDLE LEATHER. THIS FULL-BODIED, RIPE, RICH, CONCENTRATED, SUPERBLY BALANCED WINE IS PARADOXICAL IN THE SENSE THAT THE AROMATICS SUGGEST A FAR MORE EVOLVED WINE THAN THE FLAVORS REVEAL. ANTICIPATED MATURITY: 2007-2030. BY THE WAY, THE 1996 BLEND CONSISTS OF 72 CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 20 MERLOT, AND 8 CABERNET FRANC. 94 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 122 (APR 1999)
