Deep garnet colored the 2009 Mouton Rothschild gives up bold earthy notions of underbrush tilled soil and fungi over a core of crème de cassis plum preserves and Indian spices with a waft of camphor. Full-bodied with a firm velvety tannin texture and packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers it has seamless freshness and a very long decadently fruited finish.

The 2009 Mouton Rothschild is exceptionally beautiful. A huge powerful wine the 2009 possesses stunning richness and radiance with plenty of underlying structure to support all of that exuberance. Smoke grilled herbs tobacco and incense give the 2009 much of its exotic captivating personality. Seamless opulent yet with terrific freshness the 2009 is sure to thrill those fortunate to own it for several decades. In a word: dazzling. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot. Harvest took place between September 23 and October 6 in a year marked with dry weather higher than average temperatures and generous sunshine.

The pureness of fruit in this on the nose is phenomenal with crushed currants and cassis. It's deep so deep. Also some foie gras. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and an insanely decadent finish with meat game and dark fruits. Goes on for minutes. Decadent and turns to dark fruits cassis and licorice. Warm and voluptuous wine. 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot.

This will always be a great contrast to the dark power of the 2010 sporting lush layers of fig boysenberry and blackberry confiture carried by velvety tannins flowing through a long anise- tobacco- and cocoa-fueled finish. Not shy on grip but much rounder and plusher in feel. Hard to resist now but there's absolutely no rush. -- Non-blind Mouton-Rothschild vertical (March 2017). Best from 2020 through 2050. 16000 cases made.
