Wine Advocate 98+, Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is the most dramatic of the Médoc first growths, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries and violets mingled with rich aromas of cedar, cigar wrapper, licorice, loamy soil and spices.

Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and powerful, with huge levels of concentration and an ineffably complete, seamless profile, concluding with a long, resonant finish.

Plenty of ripe tannin is hidden by its ample core of fruit, and despite its youthful polish, this will require plenty of bottle age to realize all its potential.

This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot tastes in many respects like the 2016 Mouton's more sun-kissed cousin. 2035 - 2065

 

James Suckling 99

This is incredibly complex, with all the cabernet descriptors, from mint and lead pencil to blackberry, blackcurrant and menthol. It changes all the time in the glass, just as in the nose. Yet, it remains cool and classy. Full-bodied with very fine, tight tannins that run the length of the wine, carrying on and on and on. Well-framed and compact wine. Never-ending procession of currant, berry and black cherry fruit, together with licorice, earth and just a hint of black truffle. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot. Give this until 2028 to show its true greatness.

 

Vinous 97, Neal Martin

The 2019 Mouton-Rothschild is more backward on the nose, graphite and pencil shavings infusing the black fruit, broody at first yet gaining intensity in the glass with each swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, fine depth, lightly spiced with a vibrant, slightly peppery finish. Impressive weight and length and unequivocally, a long-term proposition. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Drink 2028-2065.

Winery


Château Mouton Rothschild spans 90 hectares (222 acres) in the Médoc, north-west of Bordeaux, situated between the Gironde estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. The Médoc vineyard, with origins dating back to Roman times, covers approximately 16,500 hectares (41,000 acres). This narrow strip of land, 80 km long and 5 to 10 km wide, benefits from river irrigation and a temperate ocean climate, while being shielded from extreme weather by the Landes forest.
