Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2003 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2003 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe This vintage seems to be the 1921 of our time. An exotic, musky, full-of-dimension nose. It is just like having whole berries in the mouth. Voluptuous blackberry finish. Mouth-enveloping. A great example of the status and life-enhancing qualities of the 2003 vintage in the northern Medoc. Unbelievably good. More recently, a huge cassis nose - a Mouton bouquet of the greatest vintages. A massive wine - coffee and blackcurrant. All enveloping glycerol, liquorice, freshness and fruit. A giant. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 718 ♦ 6 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 1200-1500 per lot: USD 1900-2400 per lot: EUR 1400-1800 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the mind that stays with one for life.
