Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
97+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The last time I tasted the 1996 Mouton Rothschild I recall it was a bit broody and closed. This showing was anything but! Deep garnet in colour, 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.
