| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.1 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 11/13/2023 & rated 97 points: A candidate for wine of the vintage due to all of its waves of dark red and black fruits, currants, blackberries, mint, spice, and crushed rock nuances. The wine is full, rich, vibrant, and balanced with purity to the fruits and lift in the lengthy finish. Give it just a few more years and it will really start singing. Drink from 2026-2060.

Classic black fruits and menthol on the nose, with something truffley going on in the background which I suspect accounts for the oak. High acid, and beautifully integrated tannins which are almost imperceptible until the finish. At this stage the menthol note is the dominant one; overall sense is of something quite polite - nothing overly hedonistic about this. Will obviously improve. (1496 views) | | | Tasted by vinhslee on 10/19/2023 & rated 90 points: Aerated for 3 hours in decanter. The tannins are very fine and approachable. But given the atypicity of 17 vintage, it lacks the usual depth of cab. It’s decent, and barely drinkable now. Should benefit from ageing in the next few years. (1525 views) | | | Tasted by stschutz on 1/14/2023 & rated 97 points: An absolute joy to drink. Dark ruby color, soft lush tannins, pillow-like layers, wonderful structure and such balance. Dark fruit currants that evoke the senses. Opened for Heekyung's birthday dinner here at the apartment with everyone, including the introduction of Ringo!

A beautiful wine
$650 as tasted, could use another 5-15yrs of age
90% cab, 9% merlot, 1% cab franc (4826 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 9/19/2021: When it was first opened it was giving a bit and you could tell this is going to be a very good wine, but it closed down very quickly and became difficult to assess. All the parts are seemingly there, I’d like to try again in 10-15 years. (4036 views) | | | Tasted by Elpaninaro on 9/17/2021: decanted two hours prior to serving
deepish red purple, punchy cassis and cherry nose, fruitcake, on the palate an attractive punchy mid-weight that is quite closed down and remained so over the course of several hours, bright berries, subtle spice waves just barely evident at present, a bit of cinnamon, an exotic quality to the fruit, this strikes me as a slightly lighter version of the 2015, with time the aromatics developed more nuance but the palate remained fairly closed, lovely tension here, this will need some time but when it comes around expect it to be a very sexy mid-weight beauty driven by its aromatics, given the superb balance and firm structure I would also expect it to be quite long-lived.
(****)+, 2030++ (4105 views) | | | Tasted by ETT95 on 6/11/2021 & rated 94 points: Intense ruby colour. Versatile aromas of graphite, leather and plum. Full and rich on palate. Ridiculously soft and smooth tannin. A pleasure to drink and will benefit from cellaring. I'd say to revisit in 5 and 10 years. (3818 views) | | | Tasted by SGoenophile on 3/25/2019 & rated 95 points: Tasting at Chateau Mouton Rothschild. Deep purple, almost black in colour. Powerful and rather big tannins. Nice balance with fresh acidity. Long way to go before optimum drinking condition. For now it is surprisingly approachable but then this is Mouton. (7673 views) | | | Tasted by DrZett on 10/29/2018: Barrel tasting at the Château. Lots of green notes, high acidity. Not really my thing, but it was my first barrel taste ever - so no note. (7679 views) | | | Tasted by rossi.wine on 7/12/2018 & rated 97 points: Tasted after 2017 d’Armailhac and Clerc Milon. Dark, cool with lots of depth on the nose: Sweet spices, dark fruit, tobacco, wood smoke and lots of minerality. On the palate bright, pure, lifted. Lovely fruit, very fresh and vibrant, perfectly integrated tannins, again very mineral. Very very long. A superb Mouton in the making. 96-97+ (7127 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 6/20/2018 & rated 95 points: Joanne Bordeaux Trip 2018 (Bordeaux): The nose was zesty with dark red berry, currant, perfumed florals, and spice, in an almost savory expression. On the palate, I found silky, broad and pliant textures offset by a wash of vibrant dark red fruits, minerals and spice. The finish was long and structured with fine tannin coating the senses while dark red fruits fought to make themselves known. (6836 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 4/26/2018 & rated 99 points:
Nearly purple in color, this is full bodied and intense. There is a strong sensation of crushed stone, exotic spices, licorice and barbecue smoke swirling about the dusky red fruits as they coat your palate. Powerful and sensuous with a magnificent wholesomeness of fruit, the wine nimbly builds to a boundless finish, which clocks in at close to 60 seconds! The blend comes from 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, reaching 13.1% alcohol with a pH of 3.75. The harvest took place from September 7 to September 29 and the Grand Vin represents 51% of the harvest.

Vineyard mapRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc
VdB
The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines.Pauillac Read more detailed information about Pauillac Looking full onto the river from the earliest days, with an important port activity, traces of which go back to ancient times (shipment of bronze as long ago as 2000 B.C.), Pauillac's life has always been intimately linked to the history of wine. Although port activities were at the root of its prosperity, Pauillac had to wait until the eighteenth century when Bordeaux ceased to hold its privileged position to become a wine port. The town then became the natural outlet for the wine production of neighbouring cantons before reaching its zenith in a period when the vineyards were exceptionally prosperous.
The characteristic of the Pauillac terroir is its exceptional relief: the many undulating ridges make it unique morphologically speaking. Highly favourable conditions facilitate the dissection of the layer of gravel. This thin, Garonne gravel from whose very poverty springs great richness, has an extremely effective natural drainage.
With their velvet red colour with a hint of amber, the wines from the Pauillac appellation, full-bodied and rich in tannin, are vigorous. Powerful when young, their aromas of red fruits (black-currant, raspberry) or flowers (violets, roses, irises) melt with the passing of time into a bouquet which is long in the mouth.
Rich and complex, the wines of Pauillac deserve to be laid down for a little longer.
Production conditions (Decree dated November 14, 1936)
In order to have the right to the Pauillac appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:
- come from the commune of Pauillac and from precisely defined parcels in the communes of Cissac, Saint-Julien, Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Sauveur, "excluding the parcels situated on recent alluvium and sand on impermeable subsoils",
- satisfy precise production conditions : grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (45 hectolitres per hectare). |
