Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1er Grand Cru 2009 - Pauillac

Robert Parker
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Mouton Rothschild gives up bold earthy notions of underbrush, tilled soil and fungi over a core of crème de cassis, plum preserves and Indian spices with a waft of camphor. Full-bodied with a firm, velvety tannin texture and packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, it has seamless freshness and a very long, decadently fruited finish. 99+/100

James Suckling
Beautiful aromas of blackberries, minerals, cassis, and mint. This is phenomenal stuff. I remember tasting this in March, and thinking it was gorgeous then, but it is fabulous now. Perhaps the wine of the vintage, a truly incredible wine. Barrel sample. Find the wine 98-99/100

Falstaff 100 Punkte
This will always be a great contrast to the dark power of the 2010, sporting lush layers of fig, boysenberry and blackberry confiture, carried by velvety tannins, flowing through a long, anise-, tobacco- and cocoa-fueled finish. Not shy on grip, but much rounder and plusher in feel. Hard to resist now, but there's absolutely no rush.--Non-blind Mouton-Rothschild vertical (March 2017). Best from 2020 through 2050.
