On the palate it displays a very tight nose of almost over-ripe mulberry fruit, very dusky and dark, leading on to a rich and savoury mid-palate, courtesy of the new oak used in maturation. The tannins are more aggressive than those at superfine Margaux, but nevertheless are in perfect balance with the richness that comes before. Certainly a long-keeper and one of the top wines of the vintage.
Only available duty paid
Only 49% of the production made it into the 2010 Mouton Rothschild, which has a strikingly beautiful label by Jeffrey Koons. This is a truly great wine, with a very high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (94%) and the other 6% Merlot. At 13.9% natural alcohol, Mouton’s director, Philippe Dhalluin, has clearly produced another 50- to 60-year wine that has a chance at perfection in about 15 years time, when I suspect this wine will be rounding into drinking condition. It is dense, rich and full-bodied, with the classic Mouton creme de cassis, forest floor, licorice and floral notes, but also some blueberry and hints of subtle espresso and mulberry. The wine has more minerality and precision than the rich, extravagantly opulent 2009, and while that may please some, others will have their patience tested as they wait and wait for this compelling Mouton Rothschild to hit full maturity.
