Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

$895

I am speechless over the nose in this wine. Mint, blackberry, currant and black licorice turn to flowers such as lilacs and roses. Wow. It fills your mouth with the same fruit, but with an intensity of superpolished tannins. It finishes with complex yet reserved coffee, toasted oak and ripe fruit and then in two or three minutes it becomes milk chocolate. Just a joy to taste. Best Mouton since 1982 or 1986; in fact, it's like a blend of the two. A perfect Mouton? Wine Spectator

Surprisingly this 2009 Mouton is drinking extremely well. Tannins, fruit and acid are well balanced.

The 2009 Mouton is modern, cool and stunning. Appropriate therefore that Anish Kapoor designed the label. Smoke, cherry, leather, herbs, tobacco meld together. Rich and yet fresh. Some vanilla and mocha elements come through on the finish. Grippy tannins, this wine has a long way to go.

Still young and fresh. Approachable and lean for a Mouton. Mid fruits. Very 09 smooth.

New Leather tobacco leaf, and black currants. Broad on the palate and dense concentration. Will improve over the next 20+ years

Tasted after 40 minute decant. Simple yet profound. Graphite on the nose. Fresh herbs. Juicy structure. I’m sure it will still go for decades but with a proper 2-3 hour decant it will bring much pleasure.
