"The 2009 Mouton-Rothschild is as concentrated as the 2010 but it presents itself in a more consumer-friendly seductive style. Opulently textured and full-bodied with gorgeous levels of crème de cassis melted licorice espresso roast and chocolate it possesses high but sweet velvety tannins massive body and fabulous purity as well as length. This could turn out to be a candidate for perfection in another 8-10 years. It will drink well for 30-50 years but will always be much more approachable and charming than its 2010 counterpart."

Barrel sample. A wonderfully structured wine,it combines impressive purity of fruit with delicious, mouth-watering acidity, The dry structure holds this elegant structure perfectly in place. A great success. —Roger Voss,

This is pure unadulterated Cabernet with a gorgeously creamy mouthfeel to the beam of cassis that's backed by extra layers of cherry eau de vie red licorice and raspberry ganache. Obviously dense but amazingly supple with terrific length supported by a classic iron-fueled spine. This has power if it needs it but it's all about length. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The pureness of fruit in this on the nose is phenomenal with crushed currants and cassis. It's deep so deep. Also some foie gras. Full-bodied with velvety tannins and an insanely decadent finish with meat game and dark fruits. Goes on for minutes. Decadent and turns to dark fruits cassis and licorice. Warm and voluptuous wine. 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot.
