Château Mouton Rothschild 1996 Pauillac 1er Cru Classé6 bottles"The evolution of the 1996 (which I re-tasted in late March prior to bottling) continues to confirm that this vintage is indeed awesome. The wine (which I would now rate as high as 95-96), is looking extraordinary as it enters into its last few months of barrel age. Massive, thick, and rich, it looks to be as prodigious as the slightly softer 1995. It is a sensational Mouton that appears to be every bit as complete and potentially grand as the other Medoc first-growths in this vintage." (95-96pts WA)「......這支1996年佳釀的進化（我在最近的三月於裝瓶前再度品嚐）證明它真的很了不起。在酒桶中醞釀的最後幾個月，它（如今我的評分高達95至96分）看起來很出色，厚實濃郁，與略為平和的1995年酒相比，一樣使人感覺奇妙。它是使人感動的一支木桐堡美酒，每一方面都跟其他梅多克一級酒莊的同年份出品一樣，圓滿而高貴。」（《葡萄酒倡導家》Robert Parker評分：95-96）
