| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 202 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 3/31/2024: Drink, enjoy and count your blessings (801 views) | | | Tasted by Mjuste on 12/27/2023 & rated 86 points: Disappointed. Not a big wine. Keep off. Simply too little of everything. (1840 views) | | | Tasted by Malarky997 on 11/11/2023 & rated 95 points: Beautiful (2341 views) | | | Tasted by dead puddle on 10/14/2023 & rated 95 points: Blind tasting at Clement's hospital. Decanted 75 min, served at 20°C approx. Nice dark hue with autumn colors borders. Nose expressive of smoked ham, blackcurrant, sap, cedar, actually a classic cab. Palate deep, noble, fine and technical : nice berries core, coated with a silky texture of polished tannins and new aok. Complex dimension of underwood flavors with smoke, cedar, fresh tobacco leaves. Served with a very risky dish of spiced lamb peaces panned with coriander, aromatic rice and baked tomato with jalapeno, feta, pine tree seeds, and red pepper. This electrical combination becomes a boxing match where the noble power and the green peppers of the cabernet remains victorious. Incredible bloody experience. (2489 views) | | | Tasted by Zweder on 7/18/2023 & rated 93 points: Beautiful bouquet with oak and cedar and dark berries, vanilla from the oak and some tobacco. Same on the palate, dark fruits, oak and cedar, good acidity and tannin with still a pleasant bite. The wine shows the early signs of maturity. (3214 views) | | | Tasted by Fuel55 on 7/6/2023 & rated 95 points: Showing really well. Fresh, lively and classic. (2680 views) | | | Tasted by Jonahpla on 5/28/2023 & rated 96 points: Love this wine. Fruity, velvety, balanced, complex. (2036 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 2/10/2023 & rated 95 points: Double decanted two hours before. Very classic for the vintage, this is cool, blue, elegant with plenty of black currant, some poivre vert; vertical style, manly, strict, fine concentration of fruit, notes of tobacco. Others liked it less than me, although HSA agreed.
#Schur#Mouton (3329 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 12/25/2022 & rated 95 points: Pronounced nose intensity with black fruits, cassis, spices. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is velvety. (2641 views) | | | Tasted by VoteferPedro on 6/5/2022 & rated 89 points: based on prior note I decanted about 2 and half hours and felt it was tight and decanted it back to the bottle and served about 3.5 hours
It was a nice bordeaux - tannins seemed more resolved than last two. There is excellent balance and long but light finish but otherwise not remarkable ... good but not great. This was part of case purchased on release and stored well. so bottle variation?
I have two bottles left of my case but will likely try to finish them in the next year or two (3882 views) | | | Tasted by Decanting Queen on 2/14/2022 & rated 93 points: Fantastic nose, made me think I should be more dressed up vs lounging around in my sweats. Tobacco, cedar, cassis, toast , berry fruit and green herbs on the nose. Sadly much less intensity on the palate but still very enjoyable. Drying tannins on the finish which was a bit dilute. I have a bottle of this in my cellar for a future special occasion and it is indeed worthy of special, but perhaps not everything you would expect from Mouton. (6019 views) | | | Tasted by DrZett on 1/15/2022 & rated 91 points: More on the dark berried side. Nice tobacco and cedar notes too. Neither fine nor powerful. Good depth but kind of unbalanced. Drink up within the next few years. (IG) (4218 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 12/22/2021 & rated 93 points: Deep rudy in colour. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of black fruits, cassis, spices, toast. Medium+ acidity and tannin. Medium+ bodied. Feel that this vintage underperformed for Mouton. (3830 views) | | | Tasted by helicopterbob on 12/20/2021 & rated 90 points: Enjoyed the maturing tobacco and cedar overtones with plenty of fruit still present (3681 views) | | | Tasted by VoteferPedro on 11/21/2021 & rated 94 points: 8th if 12 bought en premier and properly stored
served w food after 2 hour decant but was ideal at 3hours following a trajectory seen my prior notes
it is about the sane and for me still a 94 or higher not based on the volume or intensity of flavor (california can be cranked to 11) but based in balance, translucency of flavor and constant interest inviting another sip (3076 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 10/22/2021 & rated 92 points: Close to fully developed, for a First Growth, it is a bit of a disappointment. Medium-bodied, earthy, and showing a good amount of secondary character with its cedar, cigar box, herb, forest floor, spice, and crisp red berries, there is a slight rusticity to the tannins and a general simplicity to the wine on the palate and in the finish. This is unlikely to improve much with age. (4302 views) | | | Tasted by Goodwine4ever on 9/19/2021 & rated 94 points: Dégustation de 24 millésimes de Mouton Rothschild
2001
Abondance de fruits mures, petite touche végétale, de cèdre ainsi qu'un coté mentholé, le fruit et la structure est un Cabernet-sauvignon typique, nez profond, longue finale, tannins bien agréable, superbe équilibre sur toute la ligne, encore bien jeune avec un potentiel énorme mais délicieux en ce moment. Mon préféré de cette vague après le 1991 (3001 views) | | | Tasted by ocassiuso on 7/8/2021: Red and black fruit, with lots of spicy oak. Rich, round and intense, but surprisingly light-bodied. 12.5°, hello. Tannins still have some grip. Spicy flavors are complex and persistent. (3107 views) | | | Tasted by WildeMeeuw on 4/11/2021 & rated 94 points: Kleur: Diep donkerrood zonder significante verkleuring aan de randen. Aroma / bouquet: Rijpe, krachtige en verfijnde neus. Smaak / Afdronk: Prettige friszure start, prachtig gerijpte en krachtige tannines, een duidelijk gepolijster wijn met vooral gepolijster tannines dan de zojuist geproefde '94. Indrukwekkende vulling en concentratie, een opvallend hoog smaakgehalte, Algemeen / potentieel: 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Smaak / Afdronk: 18 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 94/100
Color: Deep dark red with no significant discoloration at the edges. Aroma / bouquet: Ripe, powerful and refined nose. Taste / Finish: Pleasant fresh sour start, beautifully matured and powerful tannins, a clearly more polished wine with especially polished tannins than the just tasted '94. Impressive filling and concentration, a remarkably high taste content, General / potential: 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Taste / Finish: 18 + General / potential: 8 = 94/100 (3818 views) | | | Tasted by Shoebox on 4/5/2021 & rated 90 points: Deep purple colour; hint of garnet. Nose of coffee and some brett.
Cassis and vanilla on palate.
Tannins yet to fully integrate so slightly harsh. May have "closed down".
Should improve. (3354 views) | | | Tasted by andydnyc on 12/25/2020: Huge aromatics on opening. Funky, medicinal. Dissipated after a 6 hour decant and turns out very fine, albeit not overly nuanced. Worth the 500 bucks it retails at today? Goodness, no, but well worth the 100 euros I paid back in 04. (4083 views) | | | Tasted by Taronti on 12/19/2020 & rated 90 points: Well preserved. Rather understated. Some subtle cassis and other dark fruit. A little cedar. Rather understated with gentle tannins. I would hate to think that age has robbed me of my appreciation of fine Bordeaux but tonight a bit on the short side. (3852 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 11/6/2020 & rated 94 points: Pristine bottle, perfect level and cork. Classic Pauillac, still quite youthful, beautifully pure blackcurrant fruit, deep gravelly core, finely grained tannins are well integrated, lovely balance, perfect weight (12.5% ABV), and the characteristic Mouton exotique - passionfruit-like. (4676 views) | | | Tasted by Shoebox on 10/4/2020 & rated 95 points: Double decanted. Warm nose with mint and coffee. Pleasant hint of earthiness. Good legs. Beautiful on palate, silky and elegant; again, mint and coffee with very pure fruit. Not typical Pauillac. Very rich, complex and beautiful. Soft tannins, well integrated now. Will last for many years. (3631 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 9/25/2020 & rated 92 points: During an evening of fine Bordeaux wines at Glasshouse in Kew - shame about the appalling sommelier service... so beware entrusting them with any special bottles...
Served blind I thought it a pirate at first as it was remarkably uncomplex. It was by far the youngest wine that evening and at first little more than some blueberry notes. It needed a proper decant (the wine had been double decanted) and with another hour in the decanted towards the very last sips there was some Pauillac typicity emerging in the form of pencil shavings. If you drink this now decant for 2-3 hours minimum. (3960 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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). |
