96-97 points James Suckling

 A firm and compact Mouton with a powerful tannin frame for the vintage, yet it remains fine and precise as it opens to a velvety texture. Black fruit with tar, pencil lead and tobacco. Driven and firm. A little angular and tight at the moment.  (5/2022)

 Big, rich and sumptuously smoky, this has density and power. Its blackberry tones are structured, with a core of tannins. Th...

Written Notes

Château Mouton Rothschild 97–98
Medium-deep crimson. Lifted blackcurrant, blackberry aromas with toasty, marzipan roasted chestnut notes. Inky deep blackcurrant blackberry fruits, fine graphite/firm and a hint cedary tannins with plentiful toasty/ roasted chestnut/ vanilla notes. Finishes chocolaty firm and minerally with bittersweet notes. A very lovely wine with ample dark fruits, superb richness and energy. Should develop very well. 89% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 1% cabernet franc.

Ruby. Blackberries, anise, spices, cassis, nuanced, detailed, layered nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, blackberries, anise, detailed and intense, nuanced, such energy, refined, stunning balance, amazing wine. 97-99

  • 99p

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Typical and rich character with opulent nose reminiscent of ripe berries, graphite, fine toasting and discreet earthy minerality. An energetic wine with power and elegance, excellent length, well balanced tannins. Impressing. 

  • 98p

89% C. Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 1% P. Verdot. 13.1% alcohol. Potent yet elegant and distinguished. Redcurrants and tobacco leaf in significant numbers, graphite, black truffle, finely grained tannin, firm structure and great midpalate. Long and persistent aftertaste. In my honest opinion, it ranks among the vintage's best wines. Kudos to Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy for his debut vintage! 96-98p.
