Château Mouton Rothschild vintage 2000
Pauillac, 1er Cru Classé
97+/100 points Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book (4),
December 2003
96+/100 points Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
#189, June 2010
Lying in a private cellar in London, England
1 bottle in original wooden case
Tasting Note: “A behemoth, the gigantic 2000 Mouton
Rothschild (86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot)
boasts a saturated purple colour as well as aromas of ink,
cassis, hint of truffles. Unquestionably the greatest Mouton
since the 1986 and 1982, this majestic effort will
undoubtedly close down, but enjoy an exceptionally long
life.” Anticipated maturity: 2012-2050.
Tasting Note: “Perhaps the most beautiful packaging ever
on a Bordeaux bottle, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild
literally produced a work of art in the gold-engraved bottle
of 2000 Mouton Rothschild. Of course, one can´t drink the
glass, but this is a top-flight Mouton Rothschild, eclipsed
only by the 2006 and 2009. A rich, tannic, earthy style,
with loads of crème de cassis and floral notes, the final
blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot is a
full-bodied wine with plenty of coffee, earth, chocolaty
notes, and still plenty of tannin to resolve. I gave it an
anticipated maturity range of 2015-2050 back in 2003,
and that looks on target.”
