Wine Spectator October - 1994
Wine Spectator
Wonderfully rich and still holding back. Beautiful plum, toasted oak, berry and tobacco character. Firm with a full body. Drinkable now; better with time.

Jean-Marc Quarin April - 2002
Jean-Marc Quarin
This average vintage gives some pleasant surprises and wines with finesse that lack body and power. Here, the color remains beautiful with blood red and tile notes. The nose starts with vegetal notes of tea and dead leaves. The fruit (blackcurrant) comes out only with agitation. On the palate, the long body offers a suave pleasure at the attack, but the mid-palate does not respond. The whole finishes with both elegance and tannin whose firmness is no longer a quality for its age. I regret not finding it as suave a finish as the entry. I don't think time will improve it. It lacks a sparkle.

 Medium crimson garnet, violet reflections, still youthful color. Fine icing on the nose, good sweetness, delicate caramel touch. Juicy on the palate, has a fine red berry note, firm tannins, medium length, vital, slightly dry in the finish, an elegant accompaniment to meals. Elegant and ripe on the palate, firm tannins, medium length.

Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider
Medium bodied, with a brightness to the red berries and cranberry fruits that are accompanied by spicebox, cedar, lead pencil, forest floor and tobacco notes. There is charm without a lot of depth and with the higher levels of acidity creeping in, the wine is on the fading side of life.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Mouton Rothschild is arguably one of the best-known wine estates in the world. In AOC Pauillac, since 1973 it has been First Classified Growth in the official classification of Bordeaux wines of 1855.

Bought in 1853 by Nathaniel de Rothschild, Brane Mouton became legendary under the name of Château Mouton-Rothschild. It is with the advent of Baron Philippe de Rothschild that Mouton really becomes the monumental 1er Cru that it is today. Mouton Rothschild 1945 and 1982 are among their finest vintages. In addition to the construction of cellars and buildings, and the accession to Premier Cru status, it is the passion of a lifetime rediscovered in action by this exceptional man.

Classified as a Second Classified Growth in 1855, Château Mouton Rothschild has been a Premier Classified Growth since 1973. Its motto "First not then, second not deign, Mouton am" thus became "First I am, second I was, Mouton does not change".

The elegance and magic of this wine have thus charmed the greatest contemporary artists who, each year, illustrate with their art the priceless wines of Mouton by creating an original work on the label. Château D'Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon follow in the footsteps of this quality concern of the Rothschild family.

The great vintages of Château Mouton Rothschild are: 1994, 1989, 1986, 1985, 1983, 1982, 1970, 1966, 1962, 1961, 1959, 1955, 1953, 1949, 1947, 1945
