Tasting notes
Jane Anson · Decanter · 98
Inky damson colour, with vibrant violet reflections, velvet texture, and aromatics less exuberant than the Petit Mouton, but the concentration and depth on the palate are absolutely there, with cocoa powder, grilled coffee bean, olive paste, cassis, bitter black chocolate on the finish as the tannins close in, ready for decades ahead. This walks the line and is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Clearly needs a long time before approaching; give it the full ten years and then some.
Harvest began September 1, the earliest since 1893. 32hl/h yield. 3.89ph, 76IPT, 100% new oak. Harvest overall September 1 to 26. 49% of production in the Grand Vin, 27% Petit Mouton. 100% new barrels for ageing.
Drink 2032 - 2050
William Kelley · Wine Advocate · 96-99
A brilliant wine that likely sits in quality between 2019 and 2020, the 2022 Mouton Rothschild is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot.
Unwinding in the glass with complex aromas of minty cassis, cigar wrapper, violets and subtle hints of loamy soil, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered core of fruit and a fleshy, elegantly muscular profile.
Broad-shouldered and seamless, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. This year the grand vin represents some 49% of the estate's production.
