  • Tasted at an Evening with Friends alongside 2005 Chateau Latour and 2005 Chateau Larcis Ducasse. The Mouton Rothschild was, by far, the wine of the evening from first sip to last dram. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot with 1% Cabernet Franc. A fruit bomb from beginning to end, it surprised with with it's voluptuous full bodied feel. Aftertaste lingered for a full 60+ seconds. It will last for decades, yet gives great pleasure now.

  • Drank on Valentine's day. Not sure what it is, but I have a hard time getting excited about Mouton. Nothing outrageously bad, but also simply not that memorable. It may be young too, for that matter. Tannins came shooting out about thirty minutes into our bottle. Subtle, not overpowering, nice finish -- but nothing outrageously memorable.

  • Sun served this mag btl and decanted for 1 hr which should be longer to let it blossom I believed.

  • A friend surprised us with this bottle from their home. Served at a Healdsburg restaurant. Thank you, gents.

    Ullage was reasonable and cork was fine. The bottle was decanted, but served almost immediately. Color had a good medium red hue indicative of an excellent chateau, nearly 20 years old.

    The palate possessed darker red fruit qualities, such as mulberry and cherry. Some cassis too. No pencil lead like some Pauillacs. The 2005 vintage, as I recall, was big with lots of tannin, but this specific bottle was all about mid-palate elegance.

    In sum, an enjoyable wine, revealing wonderful elegance with medium rich Cabernet Sauvignon flavors. Well balanced, but not brawny.

    (Served with grilled duck, mushrooms, and creamed spinach.)

  • Mouton Rothschild Vertical: 2nd time within 2 week to drink with similar notes. Still youthful. It’s actually infanticide to drink now, despite entering into its drinking cycle. Strong vintage and powerful wine. Will last for min 20 years ahead. Medium+ acidity and high tannin. Tannin is velvety. Notes of cassis, vanilla, violet, spices, toast, black fruits, chocolate.
