Ratings

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #140 (April 2002): 93/100 points

“The beautiful 1999 Mouton Rothschild may be a modern day clone of their 1962 or 1985. Its saturated ruby/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of cedar wood, creme de cassis, wood smoke, coffee, and dried herbs. The wine is forward, lush, and full-bodied. It is already complex as well as succulent, fleshy, and long. Tannin in the finish suggests more nuances will emerge in 4-5 years. It is a complex, classic Mouton. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2030.“

James Suckling, Wine Spectator (Web Only, 2010): 91/100 points

“Delivers sweet tobacco and plum aromas, with a lovely richness. Full-bodied, featuring lots of cedar, tobacco, chocolate and berry character. Long and silky in the palate. There is no sense in waiting; this is so delicious now.—'89/'99 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2009). Drink now. 20,165 cases made.“

René Gabriel, Bordeaux Total (2007): 17/20 points

„Aufhellendes Granat, leuchtend, relativ grosser Rand. Reifes Bouquet, Cassis, Röstnoten, Caramell, feine, erfrischende Kräutertöne, wirkt verspielt. Saftiger, süffiger Gaumen, wirkt etwas leicht, dafür aber recht cremig, im Innern noch sanft kernig, zeigt viel mehr Fülle, wie Fleisch und wirkt so momentan etwas bluffig.“
