Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
From the great Mouton Rothschild, powerful and dense with excellent complexity and still years of life left. Black fruits, tobacco, mushrooms and hints of incense. Finishes superbly long and intense leaving you wishing you had more.

Aug 18th, 2019The 1995 Mouton is just stunning. It's a pretty big wine but has amazing freshness. The season was ripe but the grapes were picked early. Perhaps this contributes to the menthol and sage notes that complement the ripe plums, cherries, leather and tobacco. Structurally it is stunning with soft resolved tannins. The finish is long with all the elements unfolding beautifully. Stunning.

A beauty from @Ron R that was a perfect example of a Pauillac with some bottle age. Refined smooth tannins, plush texture, dark cherry pipe tobacco, clove. Loved it.

What a treat. Needs 10 more years, at least.

Really enjoy how approachable this one is right now, the guest told me he prefers the '98, I understand why, but this is so well balanced between the oak/fruit/development, has quite a few years ahead of it, it's not showy, but if you want a high end 1st growth to actually accompany French food, then this is it.
