  • Robert Parker, April 1999, Score: 91-94

    This is a massive, concentrated wine. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, it represents only 57% of Mouton's total production. It's a behemoth, with an opaque purple color, as well as a huge, concentrated, massively powerful style with mouth-searing levels of tannin. Somewhat of a freak, if the tannin becomes integrated and the fruit holds, this could be one of 1998's superstars. Given its backwardness, purchasers should not touch a bottle for 12-15 years. It will undoubtedly age for 4-5 decades. I do not know how Mouton achieved this given the dilution so apparent in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2040.

  • Robert Parker, April 2000, Score: 90-92

    A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), this powerful, tannic, masculine-styled Mouton is, as the French say, a vin de garde (a wine to keep). Along with the vintage's harsh, high tannin, it exhibits good density and enough concentration, extract, and richness to balance its structure and tannic ferocity. However, patience will be warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030.

  • Robert Parker, April 2001, Score: 96

    Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, creme de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavor profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity. This is a 50-year Mouton, but patience will be required as it will not be close to drinkability for at least a decade. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050.

Mouton Rothschild is the only wine to have been elevated to First Growth status since the original classification of the Medoc in 1855. The exceptional success and status of Château Mouton Rothschild can largely be attributed Baron Philippe de Rothschild and his charismatic daughter Baroness Philippine. They recognised the extraordinary potential of the estate, which today spans 82 hectares, and devoted their lives to ensuring that potential was realised. Baroness Philippine's children Camille and Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julien de Beaumarchais de Rothschild, true to their grandfather’s and mother’s work, are now committed with the same enthusiasm and determination to perpetuating this quest for excellence. This most flamboyant and glamorous estate is famous for its artistic connections, embodied in the grand vins's label, redesigned each year by such legends as Picasso, Miro and Warhol. Its impressive and well-deserved reputation is based above all on the opulence and excellence of its wines.Read less

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
