Vintage 1899

Bordeaux: Harvest began on September 24th, and ushered in an excellent vintage, with wines of very high quality. Among the most exceptional wines of the year were Ausone, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Haut-Brion, all of which aged well into the next century, a few still going strong today. The first Bordeaux trams began running this year, and King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway visited the Médoc, signing the guest book at Château Lafite Rothsch...

Written Notes

Brick red colour. Quite elegant nose with ethereal character, balmy spiciness. On the palate silky character, very good length, fragrant finish.

Bright, brick red colour. Intense and vibrant nose shows some classic "Mouton-vegetal" notes – bamboo shoots, some black olives, spices and violets. The medium-bodied palate is refined, lively and youthful. Vibrant acidity, supple tannins and still intense blackcurrant fruit. An absolute astonisher for its age! – JL 96p. (Aug 2023)

1899 und 1900 waren in Bordeaux berühmte Zwillingsjahre, und schon das erste davon brachte in Bordeaux große Weine. Zwei der wohl größten davon konnte ich jetzt hier in meiner Probe öffnen. Der 1899 Mouton Rothschild in einer Barton & Guestier Flasche mit gutem Füllstand übertraf meine kühnsten Erwartungen. Kann/darf ein 120 Jahre alter Wein noch geradezu sexy sein und wie ein großer Mouton schmecken? Dieser hier aus einer absolut authentischen, schon lange in meinem Keller liegenden Flasche mit Originalkork konnte das. Erstaunlich kräftig und voll intakt die Farbe, wunderbare, feine rotbeerige Frucht, Himbeeren und Erdbeeren. Der Mouton kam etwas sehnig und spartanisch ins Glas mit noch enormer Kraft, baute aber enorm aus, wurde fülliger, generöser und entwickelte eine traumhafte Süße, dabei sehr elegant und einfach Mouton-sexy. Der Buchhalter gibt WT97, für den Weinliebhaber sind WT100 noch zu wenig
