Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 18, 2022 - Dinner at Nikki's (Gallop Singapore): Still shockingly youthful, even after a couple of hours in the decanter, but this was a really lovely drop. It had such a classic Mouton nose - tobacco spice, sweet cassis, blackberries, damp earth - just lovely stuff. The palate was oh so fresh and lively, still a little tight, but opening up all the time in the glass to show a pure, superbly defined and really well-cut mouthful of cassis, spice and tobacco, all framed in fine-boned tannins and lovely acidity that carried it into a long finish. A lovely, graceful wine; effortlessly balanced, and showing all the best things of the 1996 vintage - with pure fruit wed to freshness and verve. A very good Mouton with its best years ahead of it yet. This will be lovely to try in 5-6 years' time.
