Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: The 2000 Mouton Rothschild is at its best with about 24-48 hours of decanting. A blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon and 14 Merlot, the wine offers a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to reticent but promising aromas of toast, coffee, licorice, creme de cassis, and roasted nuts. Dense, chewy, and backward, with tremendous purity and density in addition to obvious toasty oak, it is full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and backward. Twenty-four to 48 hours of aeration only hints at its ultimate potential. This blockbuster will be exceptionally long-lived. It is not as expressive as the other first-growth Medocs, but give it time. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2050+. 97 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146, April 2003
