Ready to drink, the wine is simple, fresh, bright, and on the red fruit side with its strawberry, cherry and cassis personality. The wine is not overly complex and a it’s a little bit lean and green on the palate. This is...

This is still youthful in appearance of dark ruby color. It sets an excellent example for the 1994 vintage with a spicy, toasty nose showing lots of blackcurrants and tar. It's full-bodied, refined and chewy. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 1997

After less than persuasive performances in two potentially great years 1989 and 1990 Mouton-Rothschild appears to have settled down producing fine efforts in recent vintages culminating with the enormously promising...

Wine Spectator, January 1997

Dark-colored with intense aromas of blackberries tar and spice and toasted oak notes as well. Full-bodied with very silky tannins and a chewy ripe fruit-accented finish. An impressive Mouton. Better in 1999.

The great Michael Broadbent MW noted 'this is what my friends from across the pond would describe as a proper, classic luncheon claret'. Elegant and lighter on the palate, the fruit character here is more subdued with a...

The 1994 Mouton-Rothschild, a Bordeaux Blend from the prestigious Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France, is a noteworthy vintage that has garnered consistent praise from critics. Despite being from a year not traditionally hailed as exceptional, this wine has been recognized for its quality and character.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated the 1994 vintage with a score of 91, describing it as the finest Mouton-Rothschild produced between the 1986 and 1995 vintages. The wine is noted for its "dense saturated purple color" and a "classic Mouton nose" characterized by "sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillé, spice, and cedar." Parker notes its medium to full body, outstanding concentration, and a layered feel with plenty of tannin.

Wine Spectator also awarded the wine a score of 91, highlighting its "intense aromas of blackberries, tar, and spice," complemented by "toasted oak notes." The publication describes it as full-bodied with "very silky tannins" and a "chewy, ripe fruit-accented finish."

James Suckling echoes this sentiment with another 91 score, noting the wine's "dark ruby color" and "spicy, toasty nose." He describes it as "full-bodied, refined, and chewy," suggesting it's suitable for both drinking now and holding for future enjoyment.

Jeff Leve from TheWineCellarInsider.com offered a slightly higher score of 92, calling the wine "ready to drink" with a "simple, fresh, bright" red fruit profile. He describes it as "a proper, classic luncheon claret," though he notes it leans slightly towards a "lean and green" palate.

Decanter's review, with a score of 90, remarks on the wine's "elegant and lighter" profile, with a "cool, leafy edge" and dominant acidity. The blend consists of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot, showcasing a harmonious composition typical of the region.
