Wine Advocate Robert Parker
A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis, flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak. Dalhuin told me that in whisky barrel-tasting vintages such as 1989 and 1990, Mouton was aged in heavily-toasted barrels, and they have backed off to a much lighter toast for the barrels’ interior. I think this has worked fabulously well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon. The full-bodied, powerful 2006 possesses extraordinary purity and clarity. A large-scaled, massive Mouton Rothschild that ranks as one of the top four or five wines of the vintage, it may turn out to be the longest-lived wine of the vintage by a landslide. The label will undoubtedly be controversial as a relative of Sigmund Freud, Lucian Freud, has painted a rather comical Zebra staring aimlessly at what appears to be a palm tree in the middle of a stark courtyard. I suppose a psychiatrist could figure out the relationship between that artwork and wine, but I couldn’t see one. This utterly profound Mouton will need to sleep for 15+ years before it will reveal any secondary nuances, but it is a packed and stacked first-growth Pauillac of enormous potential. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2060+. (98p+)
Producent
Slottet har varit i familjen Rothschilds ägo sedan 1853. 1922 tog då den 21-årige Philippe över ansvaret. Den teaterintresserade unge baronen påbörjade ett enormt uppbyggnadsarbete. 1855 klassades Mouton som 2e cru – då helt riktigt. Philippe insåg potentialen och behandlades vinet som en Premier cru i allt. Efter 50 års kamp fick det Premier Cru-status 1973. Under 1920-talet började den konstintresserade baronen att göra konstetiketter. Efter andra världskriget blev det årlig tradition. Sedan Baron Philippe avled 1988 leder dottern Philippine slottet med mjuk järnhand. Slottet har ett fint museum med vin- och konstföremål från antiken till idag. Andravin: Le Petit Mouton (Le Second Vin 1993). Vitt vin: Aile d’Argent
