CHÂTEAU MOUTON ROTHSCHILD 1996
Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 2 x scraped & marked labels.
Deep garnet in color, it sashays out of the glass with lavishly dressed, gregarious crème de cassis, baked blackberries and plum pudding scents plus touches of menthol, fenugreek, star anise and sandalwood with fleeting glimpses at dried rose petals and oolong tea. The full-bodied palate is richly fruited, opulent and oh-so seductive, with bags of youthful black fruit and lovely finely grained tannins, finishing with fantastic freshness and length. This was tasted from jeroboam in September 2019. Drink: 2019-2056 WA 97+
