Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley April 2008 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot. Dark purple color with full intensity to the rim. Expressive perfume. Very tight and closed black cherry and black berry fruit with shale and slate mineral structure and power.
90-94 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate April 2008 Rated - No tasting note given.
91-94 points, Stephen Tanzer May 2008 (an 81/19 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot) Medium ruby. Aromas of cassis, licorice, graphite, chocolate, menthol and flowers, lifted by a light peppery note. Dense, sweet and round, with a lovely mineral pungency accentuating the impression of terroir There's nothing hard about this suave, voluminous wine, which comes across as richer and lusher than its 12.7% alcohol would suggest. The slow-building finish features subtle minerally persistence.
90-94 points, Wine Spectator April 2008 Wonderful perfumes of flowers, currant, blackberry and violet. Full-bodied, with very fine tannins and a caressing texture. Long and balanced. Very, very pretty. Score range: 90-94 JS
About 2007 Mouton-Rothschild Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Mouton-Rothschild "Chateau Mouton Rothschild has a magnificently complete expanse of vineyard on the slopes leading down to the Gironde Estuary. Mouton Rothschild is to the northwest of Pauillac...The famous Barons de Brane owned the already well known vineyard in the 18th and early 19th centuries when it was known as Chateau Brane-Mouton. It was purchased by Nathaniel de Rothschild of London in 1853 who renamed it to Chateau Mouton Rothschild, and is now owned by Philippine de Rothschild, his great-great granddaughter. Mouton always in the forefront of the greatest wines of Bordeaux, was the first estate to begin complete chateau-bottling of the harvest -- an historic step initiated in 1924 by the late Philippe de Rothschild. It is the only chateau in the Medoc Classification of 1855 to achieve reclassification. In 1973, it was finally moved from a second growth to a first. In 1926, he commissioned architect Charles Sicils to build the famous "Grand Chai". In 1962, Philippe de Rothschild created, with his wife Pauline, the Museum of Wine and Art", in which is displayed a priceless collection of exhibits relating to wine and the vine, from the dawn of civilization up to modern times."
About the Wine "Opaque coloured wine, driven by a clean richness of fruits. Concentration is a keep factor here, but in a control manner. Long, powerful yet very gentle."
