Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Unbelievable

Young and student but lovely depth of fruit. Cassis and lead pencil. Some more exotic notes but, after a few hours, still quite compact. Great stuff

Beautiful bottle that sums it up.

Still quite young. Hint of green on the nose but great texture and balance on the palate.

2000 Mouton was the wine of the night for many including me, 2005 was no slouch and showed very good promise.

Dense, polished and powerful in every aspect, the glass and palate were overflowing in sensory overload of heavenly dark red fruits, cherry, cassis and currants galore, truffle scents, smoke and toasty sweet oak highlights are perfectly integrated.

Bonkers expressive and layered, with a finish that lasts gosh knows how long.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2000 with its millennia label; a stout vintage; six hours of air helped; then vanillin from the oak; sweetened it; actually a monster cabernet type; power there despite the 13 years inside; earth, cedar and meaty😡; #drinkbordeaux #drinkpauillac #pauillac #firstgrowth #medoc #bordeaux #cabernet #merlot #bordeauxblend #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france16 #moutonrothschild

Stunning. Youngish. Much more serious than the last time tried about 5 years ago.

Still quite large with lots of toasty oak spice still very youthful with tobacco big and chewy with layers of fruit earth and toasty oak spice in perfect poportion

Exceptional elegance and grace. Beautiful integration. Wonderfully sensual. By this wine.

For my 30th Birthday
