Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Lot 444: one slightly stained label. Lot 445: good appearance
Tasting note: At the opening tasting at the chteau: full, rich, toasty, lovely Cabernet Sauvignon aroma. My top mark at a major tasting in 2000. Many layers of fragrance and flavour, 'mocha' constantly noted. Two recent tastings summarised: very deep and intense; very fragrant, crisp fruit, whiff of mocha and chocolate; sweet, fleshy; touch of liquorice and black pepper, delicious flavour, leathery tannins. Michael Broadbent M.W., Sept 2005
