Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com – 17.5
Tasted blind. Lustrous dark crimson. Intense and slightly sweaty on the nose. Very full and, in a 2021 context, positively opulent palate. Concentrated and ambitious. (JR)
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2045
Vinous – 96
The 2021 Mouton Rothschild is gorgeous, just as it was en primeur. A wine of stature and vertical build, the 2021 is wonderfully poised from the outset. Beams of tannin add to an impression of explosive lift. Touches of mocha, spice, new leather, cedar and blood orange begin to emerge with a bit of time in the glass. The Grand Vin is pretty imposing at this stage. I would not be in a rush.
Anticipated maturity: 2031-2051
