2010 Chateau Mouton Rothschild

"Smoked grilled tar on the nose, it feels both very 2010 and supremely Mouton - accomplished and confident. A more glamorous, enticing edge than the other Pauillac Firsts at this 10 year window. There are plentiful tannins but they are lined with air, and the overall feel is of plush, plumped fruits, like being rolled-up in luxurious sheets. It is very different in character to the other two Pauillac Firsts, but no less enjoyable. It feels higher in alcohol, more full in terms of personality, in the way that Pichon Baron is more Latour than Comtesse, but it is nuanced and clever and surprising." Decanter - 100 Points
