Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: At the opening tasting at the château: 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. Last tasted Sept 2005 (*****) 2012-2030. M.B.
