Château La Mondotte--Vintage 1996
1 magnum per lot
Château La Mondotte--Vintage 1996 Saint-Emilion "An amazing wine, the 1996 La Mondotte (approximately 800 cases made from a 30-year old parcel of 100 Merlot planted on a hillside between Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf and Canon La Gaffelière) is a super-star. If readers cannot get excited by tasting the 1996, they should change beverages. It is amazing for both its appellation and the vintage, revealing a remarkable level of richness, profound concentration, and integrated tannin. The thick purple color suggests a wine of extraordinary extract and richness. This super-concentrated wine offers a spectacular nose of roasted coffee, licorice, blueberries, and black currants intermixed with smoky new oak. It possesses full body, a multidimensional, layered personality with extraordinary depth of fruit, a seamless texture, amazing viscosity, and a long, 45-second finish. The tannin is sweet and well-integrated. This blockbuster St.-Emilion should be at its best between 2006-2025. A dry, vintage port Fonseca! For its immense size, this wine is neither heavy nor over-done." Robert Parker Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999) 1 magnum per lot
