CHÂTEAU MOUTON-ROTHSCHILD SPEAKS

IN THREE FANTASTIC VINTAGES.

M

ay we suggest that you consider starting with the

1996

? It came

through as an ultra-ripe vintage, and is drinking beautifully now.

Its super full-body is enticing with subtlety and complexity, but it’s

revealedmostly through its long caressing finish.

2002

is especially

outstanding, offering a complex nose of ripe black currant and licorice

mingled together with spicy notes of gingerbread andmild sweet

caramel, mocha and candied peel. The velvety tannins are supremely

integrated. It’s a tough find in themarket but a great catch for a lucky

buyer here.

2006

was a classic year for Mouton, with Robert Parker

awarding

98+ points.

Perfumedwith crème de cassis, flowers, and

blueberries, and only a hint of oak, it is noted for its extraordinary

purity and clarity.

Note: One 1996 base neck level.

Ultra-ripe. Complex. Classic. Any of these bottles calling

your name?
