Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2005 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2005 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Lot 5172: 2 partially torn labels Lot 5173: Original tissues Lot 5174: 2 nicked labels Lot 5175: 3 slightly scuffed labels from wooden case dividers Lot 5176: 1 nicked label Lot 5177: 1 nicked label Absolutely stunning, totally blackberry, intense bouquet that comes out of the glass to meet you. Deeply scented and very exciting. Like crunching black cherries in the mouth. Opulent and brambly. Cassis on the finish. Beautiful balance between the fruit, the acidity and the tannin. You could cellar this for decades. Another glimpse confirmed the great grand vin nose and the terrific, huge taste, filling the whole mouth with glorious flavour. Superb. SS. See illustration Lot 5176 3 d.mag - 3 liters (owc) Lot 5177 3 d.mag - 3 liters (owc) per lot: HKD 46000-60000 per lot: USD 6000-8000 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. SS.
