Cellar/Tasting Notes
This classic Grand Cru Chateau Mouton Rothschild Pauillac 1995 is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 95+ "Bottled in June, 1997, this profound Mouton is ... a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 19% Merlot. It reveals an opaque purple color, and reluctant aromas of cassis, truffles, coffee, licorice, and spice. In the mouth, the wine is "great stuff," with superb density, a full-bodied personality, rich mid-palate, and a layered, profound finish that lasts for 40+ seconds. There is outstanding purity and high tannin, ..." Stephen Tanzer (ST): 95 "... Very dark, fully saturated ruby to the rim. Deep, brooding, rich aromas of blackberry, violet, milk chocolate, black pepper, cedar and incense; sexy and captivating. Bright and focused on entry, then rich, very smooth and suave, with highly concentrated flavors of red berries, dark plum, cedar and graphite. The extremely long, juicy finish features lively acids, great balance and persistent notes of underbrush and minerals ..." Wine Spectator (WS): 96 "... Inky in color, with masses of berry, violet, mint, mineral and cherry character, and full in body, with tons of velvety tannins and a moderate finish." |
