Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2000
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
In original six-bottle wooden cases
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 colour in addition to reticent but promising aromas of toast, coffee, liquorice, crème 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 Médocs, but give it time.
