mouton rothschild 1996
The 1996 Château Mouton Rothschild is showing exceptionally well at this stage in its evolution. It instantly impresses with its classic aromatics of dark currants, dried cherries, dried tobacco, exotic spices, dried florals and even some mineral and tar nuances that all take shape beautifully in the glass. On the palate it possesses an absolutely gorgeous medium body with a seamless texture wrapped in beautifully silky tannins. Showing outstanding overall focus and balance this classy Pauillac goes on to display incredible elegance and charm all the way through the graceful finish.
HAUT BRION CHATEAU 2001
Notably, Haut Brion is the only First Growth wine to achieve 100 points for each of the last 10 years best vintages: 2005, 2009 and 2010. If you’re lucky enough to have one of those special vintages in your cellar, you’ll likely be aware they’re worth significantly more than those from less stellar years. To give you some idea, a case of 2005 Haut Brion would set you back over £6,000.
What makes it so special is that it’s unlike other Bordeaux wines. It has a rich complexity of scents: tar, smoke, leather, earth, Cassis and spice. It’s also ready to drink earlier than most First Growths; though if you can be patient, it ages beautifully.
