2004 Chateau Mouton Rothschild Premier Cru Classe, Pauillac (1x75cl)

Wine Advocate : 92/100 | Vinous : – | JSWine : – | Commentaire Wine Advocate : “Last tasted three or four years ago, the 2004 Mouton-Rothschild is a satisfactory wine, even if in my opinion it pales again subsequent success in so-called challenging vintages such as 2006 or 2008. It came across tight and broody on the nose, a hint of seaweed tincturing the black fruit, later on a whiff of smoke. It does not feel as refined as either the 2004 Lafite-Rothschild or the 2004 Latour. The palate is medium-bodied and shows more class than the aromatics: cohesive and with just the right amount of grip, a little chewy perhaps but with a pleasant saline sensation towards the correct finish. It ticks all the boxes but does not go that extra mile. Tasted September 2016.” | Commentaire JS Wine :
