95 Points

Sunday, June 12, 2022 - Tasted blind in the a line-up of 5 great vintages of Mouton, this wine had a deep red/purple center and red rims. The medium intensity nose of black cherries, minerals, plums, and tobacco still seemed tight.

In the mouth, this wine was rich and yet gorgeously balanced with rounded tannin and solid acidity. It was way too young but still drinking nicely!

This will develop extremely well and reminds me of a much younger version of the great '59. I score for current drinking but who knows how high this could go?
