Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006 Pauillac, 1er Cru Classe Only 44% went into the grand vin this year. Lovely, total Mouton nose and taste. Huge Cabernet Sauvignon feeling, with that bouquet of cassis and peppermint that I often see in Mouton. Lovely silky tannins and accessible early. Very well made - there has been so much progress on the tannins here. Delicious with a real kernel of fruit to it. Succulent and chewy. SS. Lot 1144 1 imperial - 6 liter (owc) per lot: HKD 22000-32000 per lot: USD 2800-4000 Mouton, as it is affectionately known by all its devotees, is the most opulent and exuberant of all the Firsts, a reflection of the two huge personalities that have headed the Chateau since 1920, Baron Philippe and then Baroness Philippine de Rothschild. The great cassis depths of this wine seduce everyone who appreciates the finest Bordeaux. It is a gloriously forceful, flamboyant wine, voluptuous and powerful. Philippe Dhalluin, Mouton's talented Technical Director, has been at the Chateau since the harvest of 2003 and the stunning beauty of the wines has been further strengthened by meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and cellar. Many of my own greatest wine drinking experiences revolve around Mouton throughout this century and the last. Magnificent Mouton is a sensory photo on the mind that stays with one for life. SS. Quantity: 1
