Climatic conditions at Château / 2012 was a year of contrasts. The winter was cold and very dry. The average temperature in February was the lowest for fifty years. April brought cool weather and abundant rainfall, while the weather in May and June was in-between. The flowering and veraison dates for Château Mouton Rothschild Cabernet Sauvignon were the same to the day as the average dates for all the vintages since 1962.

An aromatic and complex red with currant, white-chocolate and rose-petal character. Full-bodied, tight and polished. Fine and long. Beautiful now but will improve in time.

Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2012 Mouton-Rothschild clearly has the upper hand over the 2011, if not quite at the level of the 2009, 2010 and what I envisage will be the 2015. There is obviously greater fruit intensity here, as if the contrast has been dialed up a couple of notches. It is quite showy on the nose, preening in its infancy with pure black cherries, graphite and hints of cold slate-like scents, later that hint of seaweed I observed when tasted blind a few months earlier. The palate is beautifully balanced with great vim and vigor. This is a Mouton that will not be put down - vivacious, vivid and delineated with wonderful focus and crucially, impressive persistence on the finish. Do not underestimate this Mouton-Rothschild, because I can see an upswing as it matures in bottle. Tasted April 2016.

Consistent notes. From barrel, ths wine had black cherries/blueberries all over, velvety fruit and tannin, very complex nose and smooth silky finish. Fine midpalate. Lighter than usual but with striking elegance and finesse. In November 2015, it seduced the audience with very sophisticated nose of dark chocolate, pure elegance and finesse, remarkable complexity and as so impressive length. Among top wines of the vintage.

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red, deep and youthful . On the nose it is wide, youthful, complex, fresh, generous and pure. The taste is harmonious, ripe, fragrant, with silky tannins, medium-bodied, with balanced and good texture structure. On the palate it is layered and has chocolate, cigar-box, mushrooms, blackcurrant, nutty, truffles, tropical fruits, tobacco, toasty, plum and honey flavours. The finish is medium long, round, lingering and vibrant. This wine is sophisticated,well-rounded and fine. Decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.

Wine Advocate #206
Apr 2013		 Robert M. Parker, Jr. (95-97) Drink: 2018 - 2048 $280-$731
The intensely ripe Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the plateau at Mouton has produced an inky/purple-colored wine with the famous Mouton creme de cassis and floral characteristics vividly displayed. For the first time in a number of years they appear to have outdistanced their cross street rival, the biodynamically farmed Chateau Pontet Canet of Alfred Tesseron. Wonderfully sweet tannins envelop the enormous fruit and extravagant richness of this full-bodied Mouton Rothschild. With profound density as well as surprisingly sweet tannin, this terrific effort will probably shut down slightly and require 5-8 years of cellaring after bottling. It appears to have 30 or more years of aging potential, making it potentially one of the 3 or 4 longest-lived wines of the vintage. 

Mouton Rothschild has produced one of the vintage's most profound wines in 2012, and possibly the -wine of the Medoc.- About 49% of the production made it into the 2012 Mouton, which is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The harvest took place during the middle two weeks of October. This may be one of the few 2012s that comes close to equaling what was achieved in both 2009 and 2010, two far superior vintages.
