Château Mouton Rothschild vintage 1996
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
94/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate,
April 1999
Lying in a private cellar in Paris, France
6 bottles in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “The 1996 Château Mouton-Rothschild 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
flavours reveal.”
