[Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006]
Robert Parker Rating: 96/100
Chateau Mouton Rothschild has a long history, and its most notable feature is that since 1945, it has invited an artist each year to create an original artwork for the winery's label. This has added even more artistic flair to its wines, making them highly collectible.The wine's elegant and complex aroma contains the fragrance of wild berries, with hints of pepper, blackcurrant, and dried flowers spreading in the mouth, giving a sense of harmonious satisfaction.Its tannins are refined, mature, and smooth, with a delicate mouthfeel, clear and compact structure, and excellent aging potential.
"Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006 is indeed a wine that made winemaker Philippe Dhalluin famous. In a sense, it is different from the 2005 vintage; this Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006 must surpass it."As expected, the profile of blackberry and graphite is quite outstanding, with an almost cool slate-like aroma.The taste complements the meticulously balanced acidity, delicate tannins, and rich details in the finish.Recent bottling samples indicate that it might close down for a few years, in which case, enjoy it over the next few months or cellar it for a few years and reap the rewards.
