Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2019

97+ Deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, the 2000 Mouton Rothschild (composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot) boldly bursts from the glass with tantalizing Black Forest cake, dried mulberries, kirsch and...

Wine Enthusiast, June 2003

With its distinctive antique bottle and gold etched label dominated by a sheep, this is definitely a move away from classic Bordeaux bottling. It is good that the wine can support the presentation. The fruit is so ripe...

Decanter, July 2020

A little more open than the other four Firsts in the vintage, with undergrowth, baked earth and gentle spice alongside the truffles, smoked caramel, spice and bilberry fruits. It shows plenty of the trademark Mouton...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, October 2023

Reserved in character, at close to 24 years old, the wine doesn’t offer the flamboyant character the best vintages of Mouton provides. Instead, you find a more austere, classic rendition of Pauillac with a focus on its...

jamessuckling.com, March 2015

The nose is very intense, super-ripe and rich, verging on jammy. Notes of leather, spices and prunes. Full-bodied, soft and beautiful with ripe tannins and a long finish. This is soft and yummy right now. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator, January 2016

Rounded, fleshy and a bit extracted in feel, with dark plum, blackberry and fig jam flavors that flirt with a pruny edge, picking up lots of warm mocha, singed vanilla bean and ganache notes through the finish. This...

The 2000 Mouton-Rothschild is a Bordeaux blend from the renowned Pauillac region in France. This wine, produced by Mouton-Rothschild, is a deep garnet red and is bottled with a cork closure. It exhibits a balanced alcohol content of 12.5%.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine an excellent score of 97, describing it as "an incredibly complex and multifaceted wine." The review highlights its "muscular fruit" and "firm, ripe, grainy tannins," suggesting it has the potential to reveal more layers with time. Wine Enthusiast also rated it 97, noting its presentation and balance: "The fruit is so ripe, it almost tastes of raisins, but that sweetness is finely balanced by the dry tannins and concentrated texture."

Decanter rated the wine 96, appreciating its openness compared to other First Growths from the same vintage. The reviewer noted its "trademark Mouton generosity and ripe tannic structure," while also mentioning the 100% new oak aging process. Jeff Leve, with a score of 95, offered a perspective on the wine's more classic, austere character, recommending a decanting time of 1-2 hours to fully appreciate its profile of "bright currant, cedar, cigar wrapper and spicy profile."

Wine Spectator and James Suckling both rated the wine 93. Wine Spectator noted its "rounded, fleshy" feel with flavors of "dark plum, blackberry and fig jam," while James Suckling described it as "full-bodied, soft and beautiful," with a "super-ripe and rich" nose.

Overall, the 2000 Mouton-Rothschild stands as a complex and well-structured wine, with reviews highlighting its ripe fruit character, balanced tannins, and potential for further development. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now but also promises continued evolution with time.
