Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2000
1 impériale per lot
Château Mouton-Rothschild--Vintage 2000 Pauillac, 1er cru classé All lots in original wooden cases Parcel: lots 97-100 "The 2000 Mouton Rothschild is at its best with about 24-48 hours of decanting. A blend of 86 Cabernet Sauvignon and 14 Merlot, the wine offers a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to reticent but promising aromas of toast, coffee, licorice, crème de cassis, and roasted nuts. Dense, chewy, and backward, with tremendous purity and density in addition to obvious toasty oak, it is full-bodied, powerful, tannic, and backward. Twenty-four to 48 hours of aeration only hints at its ultimate potential. This blockbuster will be exceptionally long-lived. It is not as expressive as the other first-growth Médocs, but give it time. As I predicted in my first report on the millennium vintage (April 2001), Philippine de Rothschild could be expected to do something special with her presentation of 2000. She has exceeded everyones expectations with a work of art. Those who have seen the extraordinary packaging of the 2000 Mouton Rothschild must certainly realize this is a brilliant achievement. The bottle is extraordinary, and likely to have nearly as much value empty as full! Her genius is obvious, but its whats inside that counts!"
