Dark in color, and equally dark in fruit, this is a flamboyant, ostentatious, opulent, velvet-textured Mouton that is on the exotic side. Perhaps, this is a modern version of the 1982? The wine exudes its blackberry, boysenberry, chocolate, Asian spice, tobacco leaf, licorice, smoke, and cigar wrapper notes in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is incredibly dense. There is so much fruit, you wonder if it would be better eating this with a spoon, before taking another sip? The finish is rich, intense, velvety, long, and close to seamless, holding court for over 50 seconds. I love the touch of spice that shines before the wine fades from your palate. The wine blends 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. 14% ABV, 3.89 pH. The harvest took place September 1 - September 26. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare. Only 49% of the harvest was used to produce the Grand Vin. Drink from 2030-2065. 98-100 Pts.

99 vvPunkte / (92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 100% Neuholz, 3.89 pH, 14% Alkohol) Wow, das ist eine Nase, eine Droge, die Gänsehaus stellt sich sich sofort ein, das ist umwerfend schön, tiefgründig, mit viel Frucht, floralen Tönen, Veilchen, darüber Mokka, dunkle Schokolade, ein Mosaik von Düften. Im Gaumen ein Monument, was für eine Frucht, das ist ungemein dicht, konzentriert, scheint dennoch über der Zunge zu schweben, fast schon unheimlich wie dieser Wein den Gaumen einnimmt, er ist da, er bleibt da, er hallt extrem lange nach. Dieser Mouton gehört micht Sicherheit zum Besten, was ich jemals verkosten konnte. 2030-2060+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Mouton-Rothschild) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Six (Bordeaux): very slightly reductive initially then polished oak, sweet spice, a little toast, caramel married to dark hued fruits, a little alcohol prickle, touch of plum. In the mouth it has medium plus intensity acidity with dark hued fruits in the ascendancy married to polished oak, dense and intense, balanced and bold but not quite there for me yet. Hmm.
