2005 Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac

Bid on this bottle of 2005 Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac (100JD, 98DC, 98JS, 98RP, 98WS, 97VN, 95ST, 95WE). Jeb Dunnuck: "I think the 2005 Château Mouton Rothschild is pure perfection, and is has a ripe, powerful, yet weightless style not far off the 1982. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc brought up in new barrels, it’s just now starting to enter its adolescence phase and has sensational notes of ripe black fruits, smoky, scorched earth, pipe tobacco, and chocolate. Massively rich and opulent on the palate, with building yet sweet tannins and no hard edges, it’s one of those wines that needs to be tasted to be believed." (06/2024)
