jamessuckling.com, October 2016

What a nose of blackberries, blackcurrants, minerals and graphite. Full-bodied and extremely fine and polished. Sexy and ethereal. Harmony. A little salty. Fabulous 2012. Pure silk. Better after 2020 but so wonderful now.

Tender tannins, grilled cedar, gunsmoke and cigar box welcoming you in. The fruits are raspberry puree, black cherry layered with smoked caramel, rose petals and violet, spralling out of the glass, waves of flavour...

Wine Enthusiast, May 2015

This is a beautifully opulent wine, great Mouton in its richness and succulent fruits. It’s combines structure and obvious new-wood aging with hugely ripe black plum and currant flavors. While it is a pleasure to taste...

Decanter, March 2022

Real depth and individuality with lovely core to the fruit and length on the palate. A pure and beautiful expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from a top-class vineyard.

Deep ruby in color, with secondary aromas already peeking out of the perfume with its truffle, tobacco, leaf, cedar wood, vanilla, cassis, blackberry and peppery nose. Full bodied, lush and velvety, with a long, palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2017

Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2012 Mouton-Rothschild clearly has the upper hand over the 2011, if not quite at the level of the 2009, 2010 and what I envisage will be the 2015. There is obviously...

The Wine Independent, February 2023

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2012 Mouton Rothschild gallops out with bold, energetic notes of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and sandalwood, leading to hints of underbrush, charcuterie, and cedar chest...

Vinous, January 2023

The 2012 Mouton-Rothschild is an excellent wine for the vintage. Copious blackberry and blueberry fruits burst from the glass with incense and crushed violet scents, beautifully defined and perhaps even "audacious" for...

Wine Spectator, November 2017

This is starting to mellow already, featuring dark fig and blackberry notes infused liberally with black tea and smoldering tobacco accents. Shows a light loamy echo through the finish, with a flash of menthol. Offers...

This 2012 Mouton-Rothschild Bordeaux Blend hails from the prestigious wine region of Pauillac in Bordeaux, France, and is a testament to the masterful winemaking of its producer. As a red wine, it boasts a robust 13.0% alcohol content and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

This Mouton-Rothschild, with its vintage year of 2012, has received high acclaim from wine connoisseurs and critics alike. Its tasting notes are varied and complex, with reviewers highlighting its medley of blackberry, black currants, minerals, graphite, and hints of sea salt. The palate is medium-bodied with a taut structure of grainy tannins and seamless freshness that supports the muscular fruit, leading to a long and lifted finish.

The wine's rich and opulent character is lauded, with its combination of structure, new-wood aging, and succulent fruits. Hugely ripe black plum and currant flavors are detected, along with a unique loamy echo and a flash of menthol. There's also a noticeable hint of seaweed that adds to its character.

This 2012 Mouton-Rothschild is described as a wine that will not be put down, vivacious, vivid, and delineated with wonderful focus and impressive persistence on the finish. Its balance of power and elegance is truly remarkable. The wine is perfect for cellaring; however, it's also described as a pleasure to taste now. With a score range of 94 to 97 from numerous publications, this 2012 Mouton-Rothschild is undeniably an exceptional bottle of wine, offering a delightful and sophisticated wine tasting experience.
