【Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2011】
Robert Parker Rating: 92/100
Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2011 is a first-growth red wine from Pauillac in Bordeaux. Chateau Mouton has a very long history, and its most distinctive feature is that since 1945, it has invited an artist each year to create an original artwork for its wine label, adding artistic value and making the wines highly collectible. Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2011 has a deep color, with elegant and complex aromas of wild berries, pepper, black currant, and dried flowers, providing a harmonious and satisfying experience. Its tannins are delicate, mature, and smooth, with a fine structure and excellent aging potential.
"2011 Mouton-Rothschild is probably the weakest of the releases between 2008 and 2012, although that would be unfairly disparaging what is a perfectly respectable, if rather unexciting Mouton. Here, it has those graphite and cedar aromas present and correct, the former a little more accentuated and with a light sea-spray note emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with cedar and a slight peat-like note infusing the black fruit, rigid in its youth but nicely delineated."-Robert Parker
