細節
Château Mouton-Rothschild 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Cask sample first tasted in September 1998 with Herve Berland: a small crop, 55% selected for the grand vin, the smallest percentage ever. The cépage mix was Cabernet sauvignon 77%, Merlot 13%, Petit Verdot 6% and Cabernet Franc 4%. Five weeks macerating, six in wooden vats, only 80% new oak. At this stage still opaque, intense; muffled through with crisp Cabernet Sauvignon aroma; surprisingly fleshy, good extract and tannins. Next noted in March 1999: nose like freshly sawn wood, spice; crisp fruit. In March 2001, blind: still deep; nose low keyed, but peppery at first, opening up gradually; a ‘lean edge’ noted. My score was identical to that of Ch Latour, two points below the consensus. Most recently: fragrant, crisp, dry finish. Last noted at the MW tasting Nov 2001 **** M.B.
