Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2001
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: A blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, and 2 Cabernet Franc, the opaque purple-coloured, chunky 2001 Mouton-Rothschild does not possess the finesse and stature often achieved by this first-growth. It offers a tell-tale cassis-scented nose, and a monolithic, medium to full-bodied style with relatively high, austere tannin in the finish (a characteristic I also noticed in cask). A dry, angular, backward effort for the vintage, it should be forgotten for at least a decade. Let's hope the fruit continues to expand and sweeten, but that's no sure thing. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2025+. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153 (June 2004)
