Moving to the flagship the 2022 Château Mouton Rothschild is a massive full-bodied incredibly powerful 2022 that takes no prisoners with
The Mouton-specific creme de cassis is all there. Al dente too. The grapes must have been picked at near perfection. Depth and complexity. Black berries earth violets and other flowers. Full-bodied yet very hemmed-in with tight tannins which are precise and polished. You can taste the grape skins and dust of the soil. The length is rather endless. 92% cabernet sauvignon.
A brilliant wine that likely sits somewhere between the 2019 and 2020 in quality the 2022 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of minty cassis cigar wrapper violets and subtle hints of loamy soil it's full-bodied deep and concentrated with a layered core of fruit and a fleshy elegantly muscular profile. Broad-shouldered and seamless it concludes with a long resonant finish. This year the grand vin represents some 49% of the estate's production.
The 2022 Mouton Rothschild is a powerhouse. Inky deep and explosive the 2022 is a real head-turner. The combination of intense dark fruit strong gravelly/mineral notes and imposing structure clearly bring to mind another great Mouton and that is the 1986. In a word: magnificent. The blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot
