1996 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 750ml Mount Edelstone if necessaryExpert tasting note: (1996 vintage) "The wine's dark ruby red color, is not quite opaque. Black fruit aromas on the nose have a meaty quality, they are intense, warm & ripe with notes of coffee grounds. There is lovely acidity & the mid palate is quite full with silky smooth tannins. A very well balanced wine. Alcohol on the finish gives a little warmth & the fruit continues to open, showing additional opulence as the wine opens." 11 00 DCAMW 77%
