Tasting Notes
Very dark crimson indeed with hardly any sign of ageing. Very firm and sweet and with lots of powerful fruit overcoming the slightly dry tannins. Complete, broad and lovely already. Some juice and real excitement. Score: 18 - 19 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2010-2035 02 March 2011
Aromas of ripe fruit and grilled meat follow through to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a long caressing finish. Very beautiful wine. Mouton shows finesse yet richness in this vintage.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2007. Score: 94 James Suckling, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2007+ 01 January 2007
Ruby-red, not quite as deep as the '96. Exotic, sweet aromas of currant, lead pencil, spice and woodsmoke. A huge wine that conveys a sense of sheer power, but not quite as delineated or stylish as the '96. This really explodes on the aftertaste, but the '96 is more subtle. Clearly first-growth size, but less fine than the '96. (92+ points) Score: 92 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 1998
Bottled in June, 1997, this profound Mouton is more accessible than the more muscular 1996. A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot, it reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is "great stuff," with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. There is outstanding purity and high tannin, but my instincts suggest this wine is lower in acidity and slightly fleshier than the brawnier, bigger 1996. Both are great efforts from Mouton-Rothschild. Score: 95 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2004-2030 01 February 1998
