Tasting notes
This is one of the 100-pointers from this great Bordeaux vintage. Still a baby but already showing massive potential – full-bodied with an incredible aroma and very long length.

94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot. Deep garnet. Black fruit, brick dust, and a touch of violet. Hesitant nose, and the palate is similarly light and lithe. Attractive mushiness to the fruit as it matures, perhaps a bretty sort of farmyard character, but the overall complexity and intensity is less forthcoming than the other first growths from this vintage, at least on this occasion.

You can put the 2010 Château Mouton Rothschild up with the crème de la crème of this great vintage, and it shows the more masculine, structured style of the year while bringing that classic Mouton opulence and sexiness. Blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, graphite, and spring flower notes all shine here, and this beauty is full-bodied, has a flawlessly layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a blockbuster finish. This is classic Mouton magic, and it’s one of the most textured, seamless wines out there. Drink 2025-2050.
