Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2002
Pauillac, 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who purchase it. A blend of 78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Merlot, 9 Cabernet Franc, and 1 Petit Verdot, the wine needs a good decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+. 93 points.
