Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Mouton Rothschild is a striking wine and one that I regretted not purchasing en primeur as soon as it landed in my glass. Offering up complex aromas of minty cassis, pencil shavings, loamy soil, cigar wrapper, espresso roast and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with terrific concentrated, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. Checking in at 12.8% alcohol, its incipient complexity, ineffable sense of completeness and exquisite balance mark it out as the purists' choice among the trio of 2018, 2019 and 2020. In this vintage, the lots that made it into the blend were largely confined to the core gravel terroirs that represent Mouton's heart, meaning that there's a little less to go around. This was the first vintage overseen by Mouton's new technical director, Jean-Emmanuel Danjoy, and he has begun with a flying start.

Description
Château Mouton Rothschild is one of the most prestigious wines in the world, made in the Pauillac region in the Médoc. This Premier Cru Classé wine stands out for its elegance and complexity.
Winemaking
The typical blend of Château Mouton Rothschild includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and sometimes Petit Verdot, although the specific percentages may vary according to the year. Vinification takes place in French oak barrels, where the wine ages for 20 to 22 months, allowing it to develop its flavours and structure.
Taste
Château Mouton Rothschild is known for its rich and complex palate. Intense aromas of dark berries, menthol cassis, and notes of espresso, dark chocolate and smoked meats, complemented by the presence of toasted oak. On the palate, the wine presents a full body and multi-dimensional structure, with a deep core of fruit and sweet, dusty tannins. The finish is long and discreetly carnal, underlining its sophistication and ageing potential. This wine is a true work of art, reflecting both the richness of its terroir and the mastery of its winemaking.
