This is pure pleasure, with tiny pulses of electricity, brushed leather, sulphur, loam, truffle, blackberry, black cherry, with touches of silky tannins, smoked caramel and black chocolate. A wine that makes you smile, so...

The 2005 Château Mouton Rothschild is another perfect wine from this incredible estate. Based on 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, from a cooler yet incredibly dry vintage, it’s not far off the...

Mouton was voluptuous and immediately appealing, with spicy ripe cassis and plum fruit that poured from the glass, surrounded by liquorice, coconut, and toasted cedar. The texture was not abrasive but very full-bodied and...

Gorgeous, with singed alder and juniper notes starting to strut their stuff, while the immense core of steeped red currant, blackberry and plum fruit continues to wait in reserve. A light sanguine thread weaves in on the...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, February 2015

The Château Mouton-Rothschild 2005 has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with very pure blackberry and wild strawberry scents, mint and a touch of undergrowth and with time a little menthol. The palate is medium-bodied...

Wine Enthusiast, June 2008

If 2005 was a rich year, Mouton reaches the heights of richness. Almost too rich, too New World, but you have to be impressed by the aromatic intensity of the black fruits, the dense, firm tannins, and the superripe black...

The 2005 Mouton-Rothschild is a Bordeaux Blend from the esteemed Pauillac region of Bordeaux, France. This wine is a true gem, exuding elegance, power, and complexity. Its deep garnet color hints at the richness and depth that await the palate.

On the nose, this wine is a symphony of aromas. The initial impression is one of great spiciness, with notes of clove and cardamom dancing over a backdrop of luscious cherry and new oak. As the wine opens up, it reveals layers of complexity, with hints of mint, undergrowth, and dried orange peel.

The palate of the 2005 Mouton-Rothschild is nothing short of remarkable. It is full-bodied and velvety, with a firm yet integrated tannic structure. The ripe raspberry fruit is beautifully balanced by a lingering finish of chocolate, creating a harmonious and luxurious experience.

Renowned wine critics have lavished praise upon this vintage. Mike Supple of JJ Buckley awarded it an impressive score of 97, describing it as a "beauty" with well-integrated tannins and a chocolate finish that seems to go on forever. Neal Martin's Wine Journal also gave it a score of 97, noting its pure blackberry and wild strawberry scents, as well as its medium-bodied palate with red berry fruit and a touch of garrigues.

Other esteemed critics, such as Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, have also heaped accolades upon this exceptional wine, praising its freshness, great fruit, and vinous pirouettes of exotic spice and earthy nuances. Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast were equally impressed, commending its immense core of fruit, terrific grip, and length.

The 2005 Mouton-Rothschild certainly lives up to its reputation as a First Growth Bordeaux. It is a wine of extraordinary depth, finesse, and longevity. While it can be enjoyed now, it will undoubtedly continue to evolve and improve with age. Whether you savor it in the present or cellar it for years to come, this wine is sure to leave a lasting impression.
