Description

Very savoury nose. Dense and thick and sweet but not ethereal. Still very embryonic. Chewy tannins. Very correct and racy. Drink 2010-25
Score: 19/20 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, September 2006

Score: 18.2 Farr Vintners, 1996 Bordeaux Blind Tasting 8/9/2006, September 2006

Tasted at the "First Growth" lunch in London. Not quite as exuberant as the bottle served blind at Farr's horizontal, but still a great Mouton. The nose is tighter than last time but will those similar traits of blackberry, cedar, cooked meats, perhaps here with just a tiny touch of greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely rounded texture, but underneath that has great structure and focus. Packed full of cedar towards the finish, never taking its eye off the ball, very tannic on the finish. This one is definitely for the cellar. Drink 2012-2030.
Score: 95/100 Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com, May 2009

Dinner at home with Mrs L, PH, VK and Ms C (At home): Deep dark inky purple. Luxurious nose of crème de cassis, bacon fat and tobacco ash. Plush, silky and expressive, with layers of black fruit seeming to blanket the palate in countless tiny vinous explosions. Beautiful classy wine with a bright future virtually guaranteed by the rich fruit and robust tannic structure. Still somewhat backward, not quite in full bloom just yet, I will try not to touch any more bottles for 5 years.

The most powerful out of the 95, 96, and 97. This had a certain presence about it the moment we began decanting it. The aroma's jumped out of the glass, extremely opulent and engaging. This wine was brooding and provided a great mouthfeel and finish. On the palette, it had everything I would hope for from a first growth. Will age beautifully and I would personally hold for a few more years, but this is drinking well at this point.

Monopole 1st Growth Tasting: Exotic Asian spices exploding from the glass with mixed berries--cherry, blackberry, cassis--along with nice fragrant cedar; licorice, tart red fruits, small forest berries, and almost a sweet cherry aspect was so aromatic; this is tasting relatively soft, approachable, fine, silky, and flamboyant. Lovely and exciting wine. Most accessible of the 1st Growths for sure tonight. I could smell this a few feet away as I was pouring it around! This is good to go from now until...? (15-30 years?)

Spectacular wine. very earthy, strong wine. I had it at a restaurant with wagu steaks. Made small mistake of not letting decant long enough so was a little tight and restrained for the first few sips. Good advice for fellow drinkers give this young buck a good 60-90 minutes of decanting. Once it opened the Mouton was splendid. Notes of mushroom, leather. fantastic finish that lasted a few seconds. Quite enjoyable evening

Super Bowl 2014 (Roswell, GA): Fairly cloudy dark dense core with thin bricking; luxurious, stank, cigar, cow pie, mahogany and leather, freshly tilled earth, currant; firm and powerful, earth, very noble- this has the goods, finish ends with a pleasant wrap of tannin, very harmonious; though not silky yet this incredible bottle of wine was approachable now as well as being capable of lasting a long time.

Superb wine, everything in its place. Amazing concentration while the wine is immensely drinkable and delectable. Exuberant nose with noble stable aromas, cedar, graphite, bitter chocolate and ripe cassis.
Quite full bodied with enough fruit, tannins are ripe and finish is long. Majestic - so expressive and forward it leaves you to only do the drinking everything else it lays bare before you. Will improve further.
I would characterize it quite old style though due mainly to the pronounced stable aromas, but what a joy to drink!

Drank with friends over lunch for my 18th wedding anniversary. As my friend Stefanos T. commented, this was like the 1996 Lynch-Bages squared! The 2 wines showed remarkable similarity but there was more of everything here. More complex aroma, fuller body, longer aftertaste and a potential for further aging that the Lynch-Bages seemed to lack. Cedar, cassis, ink, leather, cherry fruit, graphite and tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied with fine-grained but noticeable tannins, great complexity with multi-layered fruit, perfect balance and a very long aftertaste. Fully justifying its first growth status. Simply amazing wine. Three hours in the decanter proved absolutely useful for the wine to fully express itself.
