MORE MOUTON? YES PLEASE!

T

he large format bottles of this First Growth make for an

astounding tasting opportunity

as the aging process is far

more graceful than in the classic 750 ml. The

1996

shines with its

intensely dark hue and an ample nose of extraordinary substance,

bringing to mind spiced prune, caramel, hazelnut and espresso.

The palate, with its multiple dimension, boasts of toasted vanilla,

jammy dark plum and black currants. The tannins are compact

and integrated promising to age for quite some time. The

2006

presents more powerfully with deep flavors of roasted coffee,

cassis, smoky oak, and soy sauce. It’s ripe and rich with a lovely

full-body that also can lay down for a decade or two.
