Château Mouton Rothschild--Vintage 1999
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: Cabernet Sauvignon 78%, Cabernet Franc 4% and Merlot 18%. First tasted with Patrick Leon at the chateau, alongside the '98 - a similar colour, more fleshy fruit, ripe Cabernet and oak, less spicy. Very sweet, hovering between lissom and plump ripeness. Next, with Herve Berland: deep, velvety; 'toasted' Cabernet aroma that opened up beautifully. 'Fleshy' noted again, dry finish, and charm (****) An attractive wine - say 2012 - 2030 M.B.
