It is smooth and opulent on the palate, with an attractive sweetness, enfolding superbly patrician, rounded and powerful tannins. Beautifully rich overall, it culminates in a sty...

Vintage 2019

BORDEAUX 2019 VINTAGE

When I was visiting Bordeaux early March, Corona was a threat on the horizon and France has been more concerned by a strike of the air traffic control. However, I was travelling to Bordeaux and had the chance to get some first insights to the 2019 vintage. I was very much looking forward to the “en primeur tastings” which were scheduled for March 26, 2020 but the tastings were cancelled mid-March. Immediately I contact...

Written Notes

The 2019 Château Mouton Rothschild offers the same crème de cassis, graphite, toasted spice, and gravelly minerality, yet turns up the dial and is full-bodied, concentrated, flawlessly balanced, and has the purity and elegance of the vintage, yet brings plenty of power. The tannins are incredibly polished, which will give this plenty of early appeal, yet it's still going to evolve for 40-50 years or more. A more elegant version of the 2009? A blend 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it's quintessential Pauillac as well as a textbook 2019.
Barrel Sample: 97-99

This shows purity of fruit with blackcurrants and cassis and hints of blueberries and fresh flowers. Toasted and roasted. The 90% of cabernet sauvignon really makes this special. Lead-pencil, tar and licorice notes. Powerful with finesse. Extremely persistent.

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is dark, sensual and enveloping. Readers will find a Mouton of notable finesse and class. In this tasting, the Grand Vin comes across as quite restrained, with lifted aromatics and tons of elegance, but also quite a bit in reserve. Time in the glass brings out the wine's aromatic presence and overall depth. 95-97p

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild comes off the back of a succession of superlative wines that you would have to go back to the late Forties to see again. Deep in colour, it has a very composed and refined bouquet: very pure blackberry intermingling with bilberry and graphite, touches of Earl Grey and crushed stone emerging after several minutes in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely-chiseled tannins, a little spicier than the previous vintage from barrel last year, gently building and fanning out towards the poised finish. This is a sophisticated, classic Mouton-Rothschild that will require a little more cellaring than some recent vintages, but will surely be worth the wait.

96-98points

A very typical and well structured Mouton Rothschild with intense purple colour, violet hue and black core. Very classic and complex aroma reminiscent of graphite, roasting components and a hint of smoke, well balanced subtle oak, crisp fruit reminiscent of blackcurrants, dark berries and a hint of sweet elderberries. On the palate well structured with great depth, wonderful tension, ripe tannins and elegant acidity, distinct minerality lingering in the finish, a powerful yet elegant wine with enormous potential.

Inside Information

Tasted as a wine future, the Château Mouton Rothschild 2019 charms the eye with its intense garnet colour and purplish reflections. The precise and fresh aromatic bouquet reveals notes of small black fruits, like blackberries and black cherries. Liquorice and mineral notes gradually appear. On the palate, the wine displays a superbly unctuous and mouth-coating texture, highlighting refined and melted tannins. The vintage gives the sensation of luscious and harmonious sweetness. With great power and balance, the finish stretches forth for a long time, leaving tasty flavours on the palate.
