Decadent and rich aromas of black cherries and plums with wet earth and sandalwood. Turns to dried mushrooms. Full-bodied, tight and closed with big, polished tannins, yet this is very closed and shy right now. Despite...

Gorgeously confident and rich in colour, you can see the silkiness in the glass from the first look. This has 11% press wine, which tells you how good the skins were and how gently they extract at first. Winemaker...

The 2015 Mouton-Rothschild is an exceptional Bordeaux blend that truly captures the essence of its renowned Pauillac region in Bordeaux, France. This wine showcases a deep garnet-purple color, which immediately catches the eye and hints at the richness and depth within the bottle. The wine is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, and it has been aged in 100% new oak, adding complexity and nuance to its flavor profile.

Upon opening the bottle, the wine presents an incredibly impactful entrance, with profound aromas of blackberry preserves, plum pudding, and crème de cassis wafting from the glass. These luscious fruit notes are perfectly complemented by accents of sandalwood, cinnamon stick, and fenugreek, which add a touch of spice and intrigue. As the bouquet unfolds, hints of dried roses, unsmoked cigars, and tilled soil further enhance the aromatic experience.

On the palate, the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild is a tour de force, completely packed with rich, ripe black fruits that are sparked with undertones of blue and red fruits. The wine's structure is impeccable, with very firm and ripe tannins providing a solid backbone. Despite its intensity, the wine maintains seamless freshness and a remarkably long finish that is laced with earthy notes.

Renowned wine critic Lisa Perrotti-Brown awarded the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild a score of 98 points, describing it as a "total diva" that is well worth attention. She recommends giving the wine a good 7-8 years in the bottle to fully develop, but notes that it will continue to evolve and delight for over 30 years. Other critics also rave about this wine, with scores ranging from 96 to 99 points.

In conclusion, the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild is a standout Bordeaux blend that exemplifies the elegance and power of the Pauillac region. With its stunning aromas, rich flavors, and impeccable structure, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, the 2015 Mouton-Rothschild is a true masterpiece that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
