Description

2003 Château Mouton Rothschild, 1er Grand Cru Classe, Pauillac AOC, Château Mouton-Rothschild

Das erfrischende Bouquet von Fruchtkompott, Gewürzen und Tabak kokettiert gekonnt mit Ihrem Geruchssinn. Im Anschluss überzeugen würzige Nuancen von schwarzer Kirsche, schwarzer Pflaume und schwarzem Pfeffer entschlossen und bewusst Ihre Geschmackssinne. Kräftiger Körper und dominante Säure ergeben den fruchtigen Rotwein, welcher harmonisch mit feinen Tanninen im Mund viel Charakter und Klasse zeigt.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2003 harvest began on September 15 and finished ten days later. The result is an outstanding 2003 Mouton-Rothschild, but it is not one of the superstars of Pauillac or the Northern Médoc. Its nearby neighbors, Lafite-Rothschild, Cos d'Estournel and Montrose, all produced wines that qualitatively dominate this effort from Mouton-Rothschild. Nevertheless, there is a lot to like. The tannins, which were so tough initially, have softened somewhat, and the nose offers up notes of cedarwood, roasted coffee, tobacco leaf and red and blackcurrants. This spicy, earthy, fleshy, medium to full-bodied 2003 is not one of the stars of the vintage. It is close to full maturity, where it should remain for another 10-15 years.
