About Château Mouton Rothschild 2002 ------------------------------------------ A lovely, clear and glittering ruby red of remarkable intensity, the wine has a nose that opens on generous animal notes then goeson to develop fruit aromas of blackberry and blackcurrant, combining elegant oak with a touch of minerality. The attack is dense and rich, on still-firm, refined and very well-rounded tannins. The mid-palate reveals a powerful structure andbeautiful balance between fruit and oak, displaying perfect harmony between notes of toast, mocha, blackcurrant and cherryliqueur, and leading into a long and stylish finish. Ilustration of the Label Ilya Kabakov (1933) The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon 77% - Merlot 12% - Cabernet Franc 10% - Petit Verdot 1% Critics Score ------------- 93 Points Wine Advocate (Robert Parker 2005) Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine needs a good decade of cellaring 93 Points James Suckling (2016) I tasted this a few days after Bordeaux en primeur 2014. I was at my house in Italy and I forgot I had the bottle in my cellar. I really liked it. It was ready to drink, though some of my guests were less enthusiastic. My wife even thought it was tired already, yet the bottle was finished in 10 minutes! The wine showed fresh herb and berry character with tobacco undertones, a medium body and fine tannins. Just opening now. Fine and sillky textured. 92 Points Vinous (Neil Martin 2022) The 2002 Mouton-Rothschild, which was made by the late Patrick Leon, has a well-defined bouquet with pretty blackberry and graphite scents, quite precise and focused. This has matured well in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with a cohesive entry, youthful, not amazingly complex and perhaps towards the end the limitations of the growing season impinge upon complexity. A touch of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. I would drink this over the next 10 to 15 years. Very fine Shipping is from EU MAINLAND in certified protective cardbox.
