"Decadent and rich aromas of black cherries and plums with wet earth and sandalwood. Turns to dried mushrooms. Full-bodied tight and closed with big polished tannins yet this is very closed and shy right now. Despite this underneath it shows such depth and beauty. Tangy acidity. This is a combination of 2005 and 2009. Try it in 2024."
"The 2015 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon 16% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak with a mid-July 2017 bottling. Deep garnet-purple colored this Mouton pulls off an incredibly impactful entrance emerging from the glass with profound notes of blackberry preserves plum pudding crème de cassis and grilled meats featuring perfectly accessorized accents of sandalwood cinnamon stick and fenugreek with wafts of dried roses unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied the palate is completely packed with rich ripe black fruits sparked with blue and red fruit undertones and an incredible structure of very firm very ripe tannins with seamless freshness and an epically long earth-laced finish. Possessing striking natural beauty framed by impeccable crafting this 2015 is a total diva and well worth attention. Give it a good 7-8 years in bottle at least and drink it over the next 30+ years."
In 2015 Mouton Rothschild is fabulous. A big towering wine the 2015 makes its presence felt with layers of super-ripe dense fruit and striking textural resonance that carries all the way through to the finish. The 2015 is much more reticent from bottle than it was from barrel which is not at all surprising but is something readers should take into account. Even with all of its obvious intensity the 2015 Mouton is a wine o
This is a hugely opulent wine packed withblack fruits rich tannins and great concentration. It is a gorgeous wine that's full of potential with the dense dark core showing how well this wine will age. Drink this complex wine from 2027
Offers a prodigious core of steeped fig black currant and blackberry compote flavors enmeshed with notes of smoldering tobacco charcoal and licorice. Broad deep and long with a deep foundation of graphite through the finish. Despite the heft this manages to show off some purity too. Best from 2025 through 2045. ?JM
