Complex, full-bodied, and beautifully concentrated, with sweet tannins, this masterpiece is already impossible to resist yet won't hit full maturity for another decade and will evolve for 50-60 years if well stored.-Jeb Dunnuck. Everything that makes Mouton Rothschild one of the world's great wines is here in spades. Incredible levels of concentration with an opulence not found in other Pauillacs create the backdrop here. Unctuous, velvety, rich, and palate-staining, there is an exotic edge to the texture, countless layers of perfectly ripe fruit, purity, and a spicy edge that sets you up for a seamless finish that lasts more than 60 seconds. As good as this is, patience is going to be a virtue here, as this is only getting started. Drink from 2029-2075.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider, Tasted 7/22 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. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate March 2019 |
