Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2019

Château Mouton Rothschild 2019 shimmers with an intense garnet-red color and a purplish hue. The highly expressive and precise nose reveals beautiful aromas of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, and licorice, mingled with elegant undertones of cedar, cigar wrapper, minerals, and violets. On the palate, this full-bodied, opulent First Growth shows extraordinary depth and concentration, framing its succulent black fruit sweetness with powerful, satin-smooth tannins and an incredibly long, harmonious finish featuring complex notes of graphite, mocha, and exotic spices.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with rosemary-roasted rack of lamb, grilled entrecôte, braised beef short ribs, venison loin, or rich wild mushroom risotto with black truffles.

99 Points - James Suckling

This is incredibly complex, with all the cabernet descriptors, from mint and lead pencil to blackberry, blackcurrant and menthol. It changes all the time in the glass, just as in the nose. Yet, it remains cool and classy. Full-bodied with very fine, tight tannins that run the length of the wine, carrying on and on and on. Well-framed and compact wine. Never-ending procession of currant, berry and black cherry fruit, together with licorice, earth and just a hint of black truffle. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 9% merlot and 1% petit verdot.

99 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Made from 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a sumptuous and powerful wine that is built by considerable tannins and immensely rich fruit. At the same time, there is a perfumed charm that balances all that power. The wine's structure and richness are harbingers of enormous aging potential.

98 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2019 Mouton Rothschild is the most dramatic of the Médoc first growths, soaring from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries and violets mingled with rich aromas of cedar, cigar wrapper, licorice, loamy soil and spices. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and powerful, with huge levels of concentration and an ineffably complete, seamless profile, concluding with a long, resonant finish. Plenty of ripe tannin is hidden by its ample core of fruit, and despite its youthful polish, this will require plenty of bottle age to realize all its potential. This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot tastes in many respects like the 2016 Mouton's more sun-kissed cousin. Best After 2035.

98 Points - Wine Spectator

Plows straight ahead, with a rather towering display of cassis as well as cherry and plum reduction notes that are pure, defined and deftly supported by a seamlessly embedded iron spine. Features light savory, floral and red tea notes that flash in the background, while the fruit glistens through the extremely lengthy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025.
