Tasting Notes |
Black-red, exotic blackcurrant fruit, but more restrained than usual, shows great clarity and class with more precision of fruit than in the 1990s, a very fine wine that will give enormous pleasure. Drink 2013-25. 4 stars. Decanter Magazine |
Deep purple and light nose you do have to concentrate to find the first growth nature of this. Dense with a dry finish and some fine tannins. Just a little dilute but the fruit is ripe enough (even if the tannins aren't quite). Almost opulent certainly good round fruit. Just a bit stringy on the finish. Cool and light after the 2006... Big mistake to serve the 2006 alongside! So much more there. Drink 2014-20. Jancis Robinson |
Wonderful perfumes of flowers, currant, blackberry and violet. Full-bodied, with very fine tannins and a caressing texture. Long and balanced. Very, very pretty. James Suckling |
Upon first pouring - very little. But after five minutes it develops quite a precocious nose with ripe blackberries, a touch of dark chocolate, smoke and sous-bois. Very well defined. The palate is full-bodied with firm, dense, ripe tannins; very harmonious and excellent delineation. It does not have the depth of a great Mouton-Rothschild, but it is very focused with a much more reserved than usual finish with crisp blackberry, briary, cedar and a touch of black plum. What I like is the lingering aftertaste that exhibits great purity and refinement. Bon Vin - one of the finest Mouton's of recent years. Tasted April 2008. Neal Martin |
