Chateau Mouton Rothschild Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac, 2009, 12x75
The 2009 Château Mouton Rothschild has a totally amazing concentration on the nose. Spicy, warm and decadent blackcurrant aromas award this the "green jacket" for the most seductive nose of the week. It has a beguiling richness and weight in the mouth, which is almost viscous but not even vaguely cloying. Sensational in every way, this château is just going from strength to strength, and this fabulous wine could easily surpass their recent triumphs (2008/2006/2005) and even the legends of the past (1945/1959/1961). A multilayered, magnificent Mouton!
